Check out Fortress Figures (www.fortressfigures.com) - they cast a lot
of plastic stuff (altho their plastic has the consistency of milliput -
it's easy to drill, cut, and sand) including some clear plastic stuff. 
In fact, they have one alien egg thing that's translucent with an embryo
(sp?) in the middle...very cool.  You might ask them what they use (if
they're willing to tell you) or ask if they'd be willing to cast
something for you.
