I'm not the creator (I just posted his pics -- with permission!), so I'm not sure if he has plans to sell anything like it. I'd love to send him a few gallons of RTV and get back some molds.

Ok - I think it's time to step in...
I'm Frank - located in Stuttgart/ Germany and the creator of the 3D Hulk. It's just a hobby for me and the last months I was very busy on my job. I always hope that it will be better, but well...
I got some requests for these tiles and perhaps I will find time to make more casts in the next months. At the moment I'm casting more tiles to have also a set available for my wife. She enjoyed it very much at the munich tournament: http://www.beckerf.de/SH_Munich_2007
This was also the point to decide to make a tournament in Stuttgart this summer: http://s7.beckerf.de.
But back to the topic: The casts are not cheap! Plaster of Paris is too weak, so I have to use Resin. I use resin that costs 2kg for 50Euro and doesn't damage the moulds (which is very important. A friend destroyed several Hirstarts moulds by using other resin). So for a 1.Edition set you need about 300 Euro for Resin. And it's very time consuming to cast the doors and very messy to sand the casts.
Btw. I spend about 800 Euro for silicone and in total about 1500 Euro for the whole project. Yes - some people call me crazy, but even my wife likes to play in a 3D-Hulk instead of cardboard.
It's a bit expensive but for those of you who don't have the time/patience/skills to build such beautiful tiles by yourself it's probably an alternative...If you have the money
My 3D-Hulk project started using the door from Ainsty Techtunnel 2 ( http://www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk/ainsty/a1005.jpg). This door was defining the angle of the corridors. I have also the rest of Techtunnel 2, very nice, but unfortunately you are not able to build the original missions. E.g. the T-section is 5 floor plates long.
