Continue my FD-scale vehicles, will follow tanks, tracked trasports (pre war and post war), an early snowmobile, Steyr / ELBO lorries ( AU), some Jeep ( Wrangler, Cherokee), my Fire Brigade vessels and other.

Post war tracked trasporter (accessories credited to Darth Panda/Raafif), rest of my own design. From all variants the most rare is the log tractor, but generally this vehicle (inspired from M116 Husky) build in much lower numbers compared with Perseus series.

Nice. Looking forward to see it.

So far, I have these :

Heavy tracked fire vessels on M48 chassis and on M39H:



Other (need serious update):

The Kingdom of Rochfort in FD

My fire engines needs updating plus some specialised vessels. And perhaps some police vehciles (Cities Police, Gendarme, Highway Patrol)

Still, a very nice set so far.

I edited in page 47 my rich citizens (billionaires and millionaires).

Three intersting facts for real Hellas:

Ninety Two Greeks Have Property Over 100 Million Dollars
Greece stands at 20th position in the list of 45 European states, has 709 multi-millionaires (fortune over $30m) and 92 ultra-milionaires (with fortune more than $100m)
Greece has at least 2 billionaires (max number 3), 17 Greeks total have been reffered as billionaires at least one time. Some of these are billionaires as family with fortunes combined.

For Hellenic Kingdom these numbers are:

-6 Billionaires
-124 Ultra-millionaires
-875 Multi-millionaires
-Rest are "just" millionaires

In Hellenic Kingdom there are today 6 billionaires (of which two in Top 100 Billionaires AU List ). The owner of Olympic Group (which includes Olympic Airlines, shipping, hotels, communication, media, advertisment, banking, real estate and other, among them even a model agency) ranked in #38 of Forbes AU Top 100 Billionaires List with $20.8 B assets. Other notable companies of this group is Olympic Racing Team and Olympic Whaling-latter started as whale hunting company in early 1950's, closed after the bann of hunting and relaunced in early 1980's as a whale-watching/seeing company). Generally I have in my mind something like real Virgin Group.

The second billionaire in that list ranked in #100 with $12 B assets, make his fortune from mining, constructions, energy and banking. Other four are industrialists and ship owners. Millionaires include ship owners, industrialists, some journalists, bankers, TV/radio hosts, real estate, investments etc. Royal familly is concidered as ultra-millionaire combined, somewhere at the end of list.

Some small arms of Hellenic Kingdom (in Franscale).

-Standard assault rifle is the EPK77/97, based on the FN FAL, which was manufactured under license from late 1960's to early 1970's. The 97 is the 5.56X45mm variant, which was built in small numbers from 1999-2003, under excessive testing. However, the older 77 is stil in use. An indigenous light grenade launcher (E-46LW/EPK87) similar with US M203 (40X46mm) developed in 1980's, plus several scopes, night vision and laser sights. The main difference of both from original FAL is the new handgrip at barrel, enable better grip when shooting. The foregrip can removed if necessary.

-The famous SMG Aris was based on M1A1 Thompson, rechambered for the succesful indigenous 7.92X36 EPK ammunition. First variant, the A1, retained the wooden parts of M1A1 and later A2/A3 use plastic parts (the A3 has a folding stock).

-In early 1970's the Ingram Model 10 entered service with Cities Police in 9X19mm. This led to SMG Micro Aris, an evolution of Ingram Model 10 more close to Steyr MPi69 in appearence. Stock is more robust and stable, necessary for a gun with very high rate of fire (1200rpm). The 5.7X28 EPK ammunition designed in cooperation with FN in 1990's, which increase capacity to 50 rounds.

Very fine sheet.

Nice designs, altough I would expect current (2000's+) versions of those weapons to feature the standard Picatinny rail interface system for attaching accessories such as scopes, red dot sights, NV/thermal sights, slings, flashlights, foregrips, etc.
