I think that's where it went wrong. ALL the pictures I have looked at were
wider than high, so all the thumbs are compressed sideways. Once you've
noticed it, it's almost impossible to ignore...

As I noticed it at once, yes, to *me* it's very noticeable. If I haven't
seen the models before, the thumbs will not help me to choose what to look
at first. I think the names you have for them ".../bardiel_thumb/_icon.jpg"
says it all: They are *icons* to be memorized for next time, not
*thumbnails* that give a small teaser picture - they are too small to give
much info about the model.
My suggestion would be to make them a bit larger, and keep the correct
ratio. The thumbs page look a bit 'stiff' (not the right word, direct
translation from Swedish) - there's no life in it.
Now, I'm not saying that the BlockCAD Gallery,
http://w1.161.telia.com/~u16122508/gallery/index.htm
is a good web page, but at least you can see what to expect when clicking
on a thumb.
All IMO,
