A month or 2 ago we were discussing the use of clear resn to have an "invisible" model and that Ainsty had produced some a few years back (called INAPs).
(I looked for half an hour, then abandoned the search for that thread)
I have finally found out that Ainst's INAPs are OOP:
"The problem is the resin. I spoke to Mike at Ainsty at Warfare last year and he advised that the resin he was using not only generated lots of heat which wore the moulds out quickly, but also the resin didn't always cure properly, sometimes remaining sticky. Consequently they are currently OOP but if he finds a clear resin that he can cast the figures
in economically they will be back"
I'm still looking for an alternative and will let you know if I find one.
----------
On a completely unrelated note, check out these very kewl "Evil Snowmen". I'm gonna have to find some use for them, even if its just Tree decorations to freak out the kids!

I came across them while looking at the "Hunter Aliens", which look remarkably like Predators..

I'm sure the Hunter Aliens look like Predators on purpose. It's too close of a resemablance to be a coincidence.

Or try painting 'solid' minis as invisible  I know it's difficult but for a test piece I once painted an undead mini white with just the faintest colour washes on the clothes/bits etc, does look kinda ghostly, honest.

Yes, I have that site saved and there is no doubt, those are the movie "Predators" ! He has some good troops that could work for IG too ! And the Snowmen are positively "evil" !
