Spotted this on today's astro-ph listing. Possibly of interest to anyone with a pair of red-blue glasses.

Stereo anaglyphs of 67P
3d images certainly add greatly to understanding the topography of the Comet. My initial impressions of Figures 9 and 10 are that I was seeing eroded Lava . Similar to that seen on a visit to Iceland some years ago. These images certainly bring out the texture and depth of the Comet's surface features..
Mattias Malmer built a nice 3D model of 67P from Rosetta Navcam images which you can find here. It is still fairly low res and a much higher metre level model from DLR/MiARD is available from here along with a suitable viewer. If you have a suitable 3D printer you can print your own model of the nucleus.
