Take a look at the cover of Mathematica in Education and Research, Volume 6, Number 4. There is an article in that issue by Michael Trott which provides a technique to do approximately what you describe. Rather than making the surfaces transparent, a bunch of small holes are punched in the surfaces. It really looks rather cool.
