I know you said Quicktime, but have you seen this:
http://www.duckware.com/goround/index.html
Goround by Duckware

It's a java applet (18k) that uses 36 images - rotate your turntable
10degrees and click repeat...

there are some huge examples here:

> > http://www.torbytes.com/op/gorounds/goround1192.htm

where the file overhead is anything up to 600kb

smaller images would be around 5kb per by 36 = 180-190

anyway see what you think.
