I drew it when I first started working on it (my child's first PCB). The technique is clumsy, but it works.

A real decimal Nixie tube that looks like a telephone dial. Source of inspiration: ZM1050 Nixie tube:

Rich people would look better if they installed INS-1. I am a poor person and I would install F4 neon bulbs. If you are too lazy to make a high-voltage driver, please install LEDs.

Although it’s a bit of a headline, this is really a Nixie tube.

Assembly:

Step 1

Assemble the neon bulb on the back of L1

Step 2

Solder the final pins of the entire tube on the front of L2 (the pins of the voltage regulator tube are used~~(It’s so pitiful~~

But it's still useful

Step 3

Assemble

Finish. Finally, you can put black hot melt glue between the neon bubbles to prevent cross-lighting (I didn't) - although this is a flaw in the original Nixie tube above.

Finished product

The test voltage is 170V, and the anode (pin 1) is connected with a 47K resistor. The Qihui voltage seems to be 60-70V. The normal working current is 1-2mA, and the recommended working voltage is 80V. No test, just guessing

That's it without hot melt glue. Originally I should have made the thinnest board possible because it relies on the fiberglass substrate to transmit light (I was afraid that I would be beaten up by Lichuang if I used slotted holes). But I forgot to select it, so it became 1.6 thickness; otherwise it should be brighter.
