Greetings. I am Herbert Erpaderp and it’s
wednesday, so it’s once again time for ask
a herbert erpaderp. The video series in which
questions are asked of a herbert erpaderp
and the herbert erpaderp then supplies an
answer.
First, I just want to say thank you all for
the comments and positive responses to the
video I posted the other day saying that I
was back. Thanks! It made me feel really good!
Okay, so this is just going to be a short
one today. I’ll answer a few questions from
the previous ask a herbert erpaderp, even
though it’s a few months old now, but first
I want to tell you a few things
First, I’ve decided to set up a Discord
server. I’m new to this so I probably have
no idea what I’m doing with it, but it’s
there and it seems to work. The server is
open to everyone that wants to come in and
hang out.
There’s a few different channels for various
things which is pretty self explanatory, really.
There’s also a channel for patrons only.
This should make it easy for me to be able
to arrange to play games with patrons and
subscribers all in one handy place.
I’m pretty easy with rules. All I ask is
don’t be a dick. And don’t be annoying…
which I suppose really falls under the same
category.
To get access all you need to do is click
the invite link, or check on patreon if you’re
a patron for the way to get in. Go to the
your pledges and select show reward. That
should work.
Patrons have different permissions on the
server that you won’t get unless you go
through patreon… Or at least that’s what
I assume to be true anyway.
Discord is simple to use. You can use it in
your browser, or download a client for it
and even use it on your mobile device. So
I’m sure you should have no issues doing
this.
And on a similar note I’m going to try and
be more active on social media, so check the
description and find the link to the social
media service of your choice. I don’t promise
to be interesting or anything like that but
I’ll be there and you can follow me if you
want.
And now for something musical. If you’re
into metal or hardcore you might enjoy this
video. One of my good friends is the guitarist
in this band. I think it’s pretty cool,
go check it out.
Okay. Now for some questions!
ShellshockM3 says: when you have the time
and money, would you consider making a video
of stripping paint from miniatures/Models?
I have been having trouble with it and I need
your expertise.
That seems like a pretty decent idea. I don’t
actually have any expertise in that field
though.
I don’t think I’ve ever actually stripped
paint off a miniature before, so it would
be a learning experience for me too… I’d
have to paint something badly deliberately
because I don’t really have any models that
I would like to strip paint from… but it
sounds like a good idea.
If anyone has any tips on stripping paint
they’d like to share I’d like to see them.
Also, if you know of any good paint stripping
products that are available in australia that
would be good information to have too.
Cooper Hamlin says: Herbert, a question for
you. Smarties or M&Ms?
Hmm… Neither most of the time… Mostly
because I’m diabetic… Is there really
much of a difference between smarties and
M&Ms? I know they’re very different in the
US… but not here… I suppose I’ll choose
M&Ms.
Scott Miller says:
Hi Herbert. Thanks for the interesting videos.
On a recent tank assembly video you mentioned
not knowing what all of the pokey bits on
the tank were. Well, maybe not those words
exactly, but that's what I call them and it
sounds like something you might say. Anyway,
as someone with very little tank knowledge
I appreciate the descriptions you do provide.
I saw this link on a Facebook post the other
day and thought it was very interesting -- it
has lots of pictures and explanations re Sherman
tank bits.
http://the.shadock.free.fr/sherman_minutia/index.html﻿
That looks to be a very good resource. There’s
a lot of pictures and recognition features
to help withi identifying the various shermans.
Thanks for sharing! I will add a link in the
description so everyone can check out this
site.
If anyone knows of any other similar sites
with reference materials and pictures feel
free to share them. That would be very cool
and it might help somebody out.
On monday’s kv-1 slash kv-2 video Boer Harms
says:
on the KV-1 turret, you could have used some
metal wire or bent paperclips to make those
grab handles look a little better.
I actually thought about doing that, but only
after I’d already glued the chunky plastic
parts on. I suppose it wouldn’t be too hard
to shave them off and drill some new holes
one day if I’m not feeling too lazy.
It’s an excellent idea and maybe a topic
for a quick tips video.
Toa Duncannuva said:
Enjoyed the video Herbert. It helps with the
stress that I have. And really a New Zealand
jab really? ﻿
Yeah bru! I think it’s the law to make jabs
at new zealand. But you know we love you.
New zealand accents always sound so friendly.
Also australia gets all of its celebrities
from new zealand. What relevance that has
i’m not sure but… you get that over us?
I guess. Or something.
Okay, so that’s about all for today.
If you have any questions you’d like me
to answer in next week’s ask a herbert erpaderp
be sure to drop them in the comment section
below. Or if you’d prefer you can go on
discord and ask them in the ask a herbert
erpaderp channel.
And of course don’t forget to do things
like subscribing here on youtube or following
me on social media… if that’s the sort
of thing you’re into. Check the links in
the description to find me.
If you REALLY like the things I do please
consider helping to support the channel over
at patreon!
Patrons get to see my videos a bit early along
with some patron only bonus content and of
course access to the patron only discord channel.
I shall return soon, so Until then, happy
whatever it is you’re doing and thanks for
watching! Farewell.
