I actually quite like it, especially the pictures page. I'm not against black backgrounds if the site is good and has colour along with it.

One thing I would do is create the "Busy's Plastic Models" as a graphic with a nice font.

Yes, I like this one. THe clean black design really shows off the pictures, which is the point, right? One thing I would do is on the pictures page, make the photos show up right where the text is. I also agree with Webmistress about the "Busy's Plastic Models" title.

I think your site is wonderful!
It's nice and clean with nothing that blinks or flashes at me... Thank You!

Ok, just my personal oppionion... rollovers and fading effects can be great when used properly, but blinking, flashing, or (any) animated gifs should be banned.
Well that's just my goofy oppionion... take it for what it is. Smiling

I enjoyed looking around your site, you have a well layed out look to your pages and an excellent navigation.
I agree that I'd like to see a "logo" graphic for your title, but I'm the one who has a tendancy to go overboard with graphics for titles.

Thanks so much for the look.
Let us know when you get all your models in.

gotta finish redesigning my sites so I can show them again.

I prefer your idea No. 2 on the photo page. The first version, by using small highly cropped thumbnails, gives you no idea of what the picture will look like until you click it. I presume that option No. 2 also has the advantage of letting you view the first picture while the rest are being preloaded. That should make for faster and more clever looking navigation.

Nice job! I agree about the logo - you need one. One more thing — you have two lines after "contact" in your navigation — it seems to me that it should be the same in front of the navigation. So I would either put the double lines at the beginning or get rid of them at the end.

That's it...great job!
