thin glass?

hello!
I came to your site (and, therefore, to the forums) by accident, but I`m amazed of your models and the Software..! They look fantastic, especially those complicated ones! I guess it requires a lot of work to make a proper-made good looking model, so I`m double amazed..
I had an idea of making models by using thin glass. Anyway, it`s just my proposition. Do you think it would be possible? There are special tools for thin glass avaliable, but I`m not sure if it would be possible to construct a model with complicated structure using that material..?
The goal is to make a model, wchich has transparent faces, so you could easily see what`s inside. A slightly coloured (but still transparent!) thin glass would be the best material to do that, IMHO.
When (if) the model was ready, what you should see is the transparent, colorfull glass-made model. Now my idea is to put the model on the rounding table and illuminate it from three (or even more) different sources by strong colourfull light from three different angles; say white, red and green flows of light. Next step is to take a camera and make a "movie" of how light sources (each with different colour) illuminates model`s interior. Of course, the model should be put on rounding table to observe the flows changes while illuminating.
I think that only slightly coloured (or colourless..) glass gives you a possibility to make a fully- transparent model. Various colours of glass used to build a model plus colour light sources arranged from different angles while the model is rotating should give an interesting effects. What do you think of it?
(Sorry for my english).
