It was a labor of love. Always wanted an Athena. A few years back, I decided they were never going to be reissued, so I cloned it!

Ditto for me except for the wraps and my homemade decals. I lent Mike a couple of my cones to use as copies to make the resin pieces. He sent me a couple of Orion nose cones that were seconds from the practice process. Good enough from ten feet.
