Nice piece of work. Certainly impressive given the height and functionality.
I like the doodads up on the top too. Nice touch. One thing I wonder about is
what it sounds like - how much of a Grandfather-Clock-Like-Sound does it make?
Does that great cavity inside help deepen the sound at all, does it tick slowly
or quickly, or at all.. and so on.
Do you think you might add a chime to it someday? (Now there would be a trick
for a purist.. Lego isn't very resonant).
Makes me wanna rush out and buy a bunch of tubs so I can build one myself.
Ok, now, so where's the DAT file for it?
(Kidding!)

I thought about a strike-train/chimes... but didn't want to go overboard [grin] -- the mechanics would be that much trickier... plus LEGO bricks don't (...)
