Amset-Rah Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Hey guys, my name is James, and I've been a Lego fan since I was a baby. I recently got out of a small dark age and I've been getting sets left and right and building some MOCs (They're not as impressive as some of the stuff I've seen here). Really what got me out of my dark age was either the Pharaoh's Quest theme (Where my name comes from) or the newer line of Kingdoms. Then there's also the Minifigures (I have three of them coming in the mail soon) that have caught my eye. Anyway, as you can tell by my avatar, I'm a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Really great cartoon despite the name being corny as all hades) and a huge fan of cartoons in general. I'm also a musician (Guitar, bass, drums, and synth mainly). One thing I want to start doing are reviews, and I hear there's a reviewer's academy here? If so, I'd love to know more. Anywho, I hope to make some new friends here and post come MOCs and reviews soon. Peace guys! Quote

Amset-Rah Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 Welcome to Eurobricks, I'm glad to see you are excitied. Believe me, I am. I hear this is a great place for Lego fans so I thought "Why not" and jumped right in, though to be fair I was a lurker before I joined up. Also, my camera is on the fritz so unless webcam pics are acceptable, I really can't do any reviews until I find another Li-ion battery. Quote
charlieboy Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Welcome to Eurobricks! There is indeed a reviewers accademy,click the link to find out more- click me! Be warned however, you'll need to work hard to get your reviews passed by the teachers, it is great fun though! I've only done one official review so far but im working on my next one now. Picture quality is of great importance if you are hoping to get your official Eurobricks reviewers badge. Good luck in there and have fun Quote

Good luck in there and have fun Sounds good, but do you have to be in the academy to post reviews? I looked over the guidelines for the program and I'll have to get another set or so to kick things off. (That or scrounge for some of the ones I have together but MOCed with) Quote
charlieboy Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 You dont have to be a member of the accademy to post a review, you are most welcome to post your own reviews in the relevant forum sections. The accademy is all about learning how to make the best review you can, photography techniques, lighting ideas and how best to word your review to make the set you are reviewing appealing to those reading your work. There are a few other good reasons to join up- -You will receive a free course from some of the best LEGO set reviewers on the Internet. -You are given access to a hidden forum on Eurobricks (The Eurobricks Reviewers Academy). -You have the chance to earn a special Eurobricks Reviewers tag upon graduation. -Some graduates may have the opportunity to become a "teacher" (and moderator!) in the academy (conditions explained in the academy).

Ah, alright, thanks for clearing the air. I might post a review I've been working on soon, then ask for some criticism. Quote
