The LEGO plates work great. All they need is a bit of support between the two Plates:

I'm down to try printing some out for other folks if you're willing to share the model(s). I'm guessing you're using .stl format?

It had to be changed to .stl format, I believe. I can share, but looks like BV is good now, too...

My 3-D casted pieces were not perfect, but they worked well enough! I’ve since added to my collection and now have the COMPLETE RUN of 19 vehicles! I have 16 of 20 figures, so I am only missing:

1. Patriot Grizzly cannon missile
2. Heavy Duty
3. Hi-Tech
4. Flint
5. Duke v2

This took a while—had to mod the aquarium (cut out the center/vertical molded plastic piece)—but it is finished and I love it!!!

Just so you know, if you are trying to be a completist, there are two versions of Hollowpoint. One version had the vest olive green (same color as the pants), the other had the vest black like the sleeves. I can’t remember which one was rarer, but I did manage to find both at retail more than once.

Oh, dang—you’re right!

Well, I’d buy it if offered, but I’d still consider it complete minus the subtle variant.

Props to MJjoe4life who had loose and boxed sets, and was willing to part with the loose!
