Can anyone tell me how I make a transparent 2D Image display over the 3D view, like in the screenshots below.

Thanks

Also if theres anyone interested in help with the graphics let me know :)

You need sprite or flat mesh that has texture with alpha info, like 32-bit .TGA. Check codearchives for HUD code or equivalent:
