Just having a quick look at my gas hob the flame seems to be made from
almost two separate bits.  The first bit is quite opaque light blue (you
can't see through it like you can in your image), then a second bigger flame
is transparent lighter blue.  I think if you did another set of flame
segments, each starting from the same position as the original ones, but
maybe half the size, more opaque and lighter blue, that might look quite
good.

I guess you could take a photo, it's quite hard to tell just by looking at
the flame!
