Revew F.A.Q.
1.Do you accept un-solicted reviews? Yes. All sites in the Network accept reviews from members without any reservations provided the review is related to scale modeling.
2. Will my review be published automatically? Submission of a review does not guarantee publication on a site, however if you can submit at least 5 photos of an item in it's pre-finished build phase (either sprues or in-progress shots) AND craft a written review with 500 or more words that show you put some thought into the review, then it would be highly probably that we WILL publish your review.
3. How can I include images in my review? The submission form does not allow direct uploading of photos (yet!), so you will need to submit your photos to the Support Center. Photos should be ziped into a single file using WinZip or other zipping application. The total size of the Zip file cannot exceed 5 mega bytes. Also your images should be submitted in a format suitable for publishing. In other words not sized to small proportions or too blurry, badly lit, etc. We can do a lot with Photoshop but even that has it's limits.
4. Can I submit my text and photos directly to the support center? You can, however because of the number of special fields and functions in the Review area we recommend using the online form as it will allow for a more complete and rapid process.
5. How do I make my camera photos small enough to create the zip? Applications like this one are readily available if you don't have Photoshop or something similar. In the end it's better to not modify the photo to much (other than resize it) unless you are familiar with image correction tools, etc.
6. Do I have to give the item a % rating? No. You can select "first look" as the option for the type of review if you are giving more of an overview of the item. First looks should however have lots of pictures (5-20).
If there are other questions out there please let me know via this topic. I will add them to the FAQ as we go.
Thanks!
