I'd like to see a daytime photo of the VFD clock. I bet the tube is more obvious when the lights are on.

Have you tried clicking on the pic of the clock when the lights are on?

But its not nixie, just standard led

Not nixie but not LED either.

Somewhere at the junction of modern open-source hardware and early 80’s Russia lives a beautiful new device called the Ice Tube Clock. The centerpiece of this old-meets-new clock is a Russian-made, 9-digit, vacuum florescent display (VFD).

well it looks like a normal clock display so thats no fun.

...with the few skillz I have left from school & assuming the clock can be disassembled - I would put a metal cover over it.

Save a few a Coke cans

cut the open with some tin snips

roll them out with a roller

get some small tacks

& plate that s.o.b.

a local artist would "plate" stuff in beer bottle caps. Everything she did was awesome - talk about patience. She hammered each cap out flat & would tack them on each over overlapping the other.
