Yhetee Ice Weapons - help painting

Hi guys, hope you can help me.
I am about to start painting my Yhetees as part of my ongoing Ogre Kingdoms army, and know I have seen some pictures of some Yhetees with the most amazing ice weapons paint job I've ever seen. Where it looks as if you can see through the ice to the wood beneath it!
I have tried searching both Google and this site but my Search-Fu is crap and I haven't been able to find them again!
Does anyone here know the painting I'm talking about and can you guide me to it please?
Thanks.
I want to have a go myself before I just paint them all over blue! Got to stretch the old painting abilities a little from time to time! LOL

Gunna be really unhelpful but my mind just wondered and thought I'd share it.

Make moulds of the yhetee weapons, then strip off the ice so you left with just a stick.
Take your moulds, fill with water chuck in a little dirt in the mould, a small pole (same diamater as the yhetee weapon).
Freeze.
Remove frozen weapons attach to yhetee's stick just prior to battle!!

Whala see through yhetee weapons     

http://www.ogrestronghold.com/forum/index.php?topic=10774.50 Guess this was the weapons you were talking about, they are truly awesome  I would never buy the models since they kinda suck compared to our other choices, maybe for painting them  Good luck though!

Wow those are good!

Thanks Umba! That's the beauties!
Aren't they just amazing though?

And Bogiee, your suggestion is great, all except for the actual method and time taken! LOL
However, it has made me think about clear resin!
Now there's a thought!
(Not that I'm going to do that ... but it is a thought! LOL)

Or you could do the same thing with clear resin in stead of water and pin them to the yhetee weapon sticks to have permanent transparent weapons.

Seriously mindblowing   

Well I'm "having a go" although mine aren't turning out near as good as A-Mo's stupendous work!

I'll hopefully have the first Yhetee finished over the weekend with luck!

My finished attempts are now uploaded here:

Not in the same league as A-Mo, but good enough for me for my table top standards!

C&C welcome in the Blog thread please!
