My immediate reactions (using IE6):

Nice layout. Great models. Just a few buts (IMO):

The thumbs are distorted, looks like the height/width ratio got lost when
the thumbs were created? They are also rather small, it's not easy to see if
I really want to look closer on a model or not. I think the thumbs page
would be better with larger thumbs, and maybe even some text on each one?

Navigational: There is no info telling me where I am, and I can't see where
I have been.

As 'latest' has a picture on the main page, I thought the picture signified
the current page, and repeatedly clicked the 'main' link to see what was
there. Took some tries before I realized...
Also the contents of 'main' seems to me to match the heading 'latest'.

The 'latest' link seems to exist only on the 'main' page?

When I go to the 'store' the left side menu is gone, and there are no
(obvious) links back to the main page (or anywhere else). OK, after a bit of
spelunking, I realized that the texts in the top picture in fact weren't
only eye-candy, but actual links.

OK. This was my *immediate* reaction. After going through the site once, I
know where things are, and where the links are, so *now* navigation is no
problem anymore (until you change it :-) but if you're aiming at a
commercial site I think the navigation/position should be a bit more
obvious.

But again, Nice site!

(...) Well, that's because that is exactly what we did. Jon wanted small, square thumbs. Since they were so small we figured the distortion wouldn't be that bad, compared to simply clipping the image. (This is all automatic of course. So cropping on (...)

My site recently went live for what I feel like is the first time. This is its 4th and best build. Kyle Keppler helped me with the php and he is awesome.
