Comment on E25 Tank Destroyer Build Log – Part 2 by Bjorn Tingstadengen

The small turret is a pure fiction. Originaly an early Doyle drawings show this in one of the Spielberger books – where I believe there is a mix of the Porsche design, schwerer kleiner Panzerkampfwagen and the E-25. Later resin kit producers Cromwell and Accurate Armour design picked up the idea – and hence the small MG turret. On later drawings by Doyle this turret has been ommited, which is close to the original E-25 design drawings.

In reply to Bjorn Tingstadengen. Cool stuff, thanks for the input - even on a fictional tank, it's good to have real data behind the intent of the original designers. Thanks again!

In reply to Matthew. On the facebook group "1/350 Enterprise Build" I have seen people using tiny pin-lights on the opposite nacelle that end up focused perfectly on the opposite nacelle in just the right place. Don't ask me how that was aimed properly, but I imagine a lot of swearing and blood, perhaps an animal sacrifice to Satan, was involved. Same person did set up what looked to be a tower light that illuminated the sides of the secondary hull as well. Again, probably involved a contract with C'Thulhu to get that one done. Since mine will be affixed to a solid base and not really move, I've concluded that I'll use some small spotlights from the base to get some of that done. Unfortunately I've been stalled for a while, trying to assess how to get the base done with a big dust cover. I live in Germany but I'm not native here, so finding complicated solutions like that is a lot tougher because I don't have the language skills to describe what I need very well.

Discovered your story from a search and wow – great work! I’m looking around to see if anyone has come up with some small, light device that will be able to focus a beam from the nacelle to light up the registry on the secondary hull vs some big light spray and/or solving through raytheon effect. Did you consider anything like that?

In reply to Falconware. Damn, those look nice! I'd have liked to have built a couple of those too!

Nice work on the pods!

Though another option is a pod with both headlight openings and a full interior. 🙂

Comment on RAID-5 and the Sky Is Falling by ttheobald

In reply to lee. Yeah, having a RAID-5 4-disk array with big disks (had to double-check my spelling on that) does leave one somewhat vulnerable. Obviously setting up RAID-6 or a 3-disk R-5 array with a hot spare would be more foolproof. Even better, for the person to buy 2 separate RAID cages and establish them as mirrors of one another, perhaps even on opposite sides of the home.

what surprises me is how people still picking RAID 5 in there 4+ bay nas boxes when SHR2 or RAID6 is there (the chance of been hit by 1% can always happen to you at some point, more so if all the disks are the same batch)

4x8TB HDDs in raid 5 seems silly to me to rebuild when a disk has been replaced would take maybe 15-24 hours or longer i guess, leaving you open for a data error, power loss or another disk failure

In reply to Al. Hey pal, it's been three months. You're still a traitor, and we're now >130,000 dead. Congrats on your treason, you've killed more people than WW2.
