Very clever, Bill.  And well-executed.  I had tried a similar experiment with
clear bricks when I made "The Invisible Car" as a concept vehicle for the 2002
Ultimate LEGO Vehicle contest:

A ghost probably would have made a more appropriate driver, but I couldn't
resist using the transparent minifig head with the strawberries on it (this must
have been before I had the "brains" minifig head).

The passenger car is cool too, but I have to admit that when I first saw a train
car full of skeletons I got a sort of holocaust-vibe.

It's great to see the folder of your work from LEGOland park.  Some of it is
stuff I remember seeing and really liking while visiting there, and others are
new to me.  I really like the snowflake design for its simple elegance (made
from parts most of us would actually have).  Love the miniland scale newspaper
stand.

And on my most recent visit I made friends with one of your busts:

It wasn't too much later they came out with Johnson's Wax.

Heh, heh.  Sorry, nevermind.
