Picture of my Pat Johnston Magician after its yellow coat has been sprayed. I got a Park Tool bike repair stand and I'm using it as a paint stand. After using this, don't know how I ever lived without it.

So true about paint stands. I got mine from the late Jim Tichy at VSC a few years ago. It is worth every penny I paid for it. It helps with covering planes also.

I keep learning new uses for it. Never thought about using it when covering. DUH!

I have one of Byron Barkers stand. It's awesome. I had it for a while before I got smart and used it, no going back now.

Painting of Magician is complete, now need to do some touch up and spray clear coat.

Looks great. Now when you are done I will bring my ISW down for you to finish.

I am ready for color on the fuse and rudder.

Magician, finished with color and letting it gas off before sanding and clear coat.

Engine will be a McCoy 35 RH. My first 35, given to me as a Christmas present from my parents a gazillion years ago.

Numbers and graphics came from Bill Fulmer at http://www.cc-gfx.com/. He does excellent work.

What model is the Park stand?

larry borden · « **Reply #18 on:** October 29, 2011, 01:18:49 PM »

Joe, it's a PCS-9.

Wade Bognuda · « **Reply #19 on:** October 29, 2011, 01:49:15 PM »

Is that a dope finish all the way through, and if so, how much clear? Not in the substrates, on top. TIA

That there's a sweet looking Magician!

larry borden · « **Reply #22 on:** November 01, 2011, 05:38:20 PM »

Wade, the Magician is all silk and dope. I have about 3 coats of Brodak's crystal clear over the colors.

Joe, I found the stand on ebay. Found one that was best offer.
