I experience a moment of crippling nostalgia

Hot on the heels of my new-found ability to purchase Quisp on the internet (and really, ultimately, I think that is what the internet was made for) comes a series of posts on Bob Logan's blog showing frames from old View-Master slides. Specifically, slides of Hanna-Barbera cartoons redone as 3d models.


I had these when I was a kid, and I recall being endlessly fascinated with them. First, I was fascinated by the fact that they looked somehow different from the cartoons on television. Then, when I understood that they were photographs of models, I was even more intrigued. How do you make these? What are they made of? How long did it take? How big are they? Who made them? Where are they?

I still have all of those questions. I suspect that these models have been destroyed long ago, but I hope they turn up somewhere. They are amazing.
