Review Guidelines

1. Create a new topic. Do not post a review of your own in someone else's review.
   
2. Choose a topic title. This is the easy part - use the set name, including the set number, as your title. (e.g., 6212 X-wing Fighter)
   
3. Add a poll. This option can be found after Message Information when you post a new topic. Click 'Open poll form' to get started. This poll should offer choices for other members to rate the set, normally on a scale of 1-5. Make sure the poll is never-ending.
   
4. Write your review. This is the part I can't help you on. Refer to the Tips section if you need some pointers.
   

• Use quality images. Nothing makes a review harder to read than blurry, dark, or tinted photos. Photo-less reviews are allowed, but they are much less enjoyable for most members. If you do include images, make sure they are no larger than 800x600, as per forum guidelines. Post links to larger images if you have to.
  
• Use a clear rating system. Choose carefully how you present your ratings.
  
• Use humor. Reviews can be very long and sometimes very critical. Break it up with some funny comments here and there. I like to end my reviews with a short comic about the set.
  
• Be descriptive. Compare the set to other sets. Compare the set to reference material. Link to other resources. The more information, the better, but choose relevant information posting in the review itself. Link to anything that might not be so important.

Parts and accuracy, huh. Something akin to this then?

It'll make your review a lot better if you do have pictures, but you don't have to.

It'll make your review a lot better if you do have pictures, but you don't have to.
