Aces High: Jak jsem z plastu vysochal heavy metalovou legendu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spitfire je naprost\u00e1 legenda, co de facto zvr\u00e1tila bitvu o Brit\u00e1nii, zat\u00edmco si piloti v pauz\u00e1ch mezi kosen\u00edm Luftwaffe v klidu usrk\u00e1vali Earl Grey. Tenhle eleg\u00e1n s eliptick\u00fdmi k\u0159\u00eddly sice vypad\u00e1 jak um\u011bleck\u00e9 d\u00edlo do galerie, ale r\u00e1ny rozd\u00e1val s razanc\u00ed po\u0159\u00e1dn\u011b rozjet\u00e9ho moshpitu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dneska to na m\u00e9m stole nebude jen o plastu a lepidle, ale p\u0159esn\u011b o tomhle \u010dist\u00e9m heavy metalu. Do hang\u00e1ru mi toti\u017e dorazil Spitfire Mk.II v legend\u00e1rn\u00edm markingu Aces High, kter\u00fd proslavili Iron Maiden. Tahle dvaat\u0159icetinov\u00e1 stavebnice od Revellu nikoho v tom moshpitu rozhodn\u011b nenech\u00e1 vydechnout. Revell je klasika \u2013 za slu\u0161n\u00e9 pen\u00edze ti naserv\u00edruje hromadu detail\u016f a muziky, ale ob\u010das ty d\u00edly l\u00edcuj\u00ed k sob\u011b asi tak dob\u0159e jako dechovka na Wackenu. V\u011bdom\u00ed, \u017ee tahle metalov\u00e1 epika bude jednou st\u00e1t ve vitr\u00edn\u011b, zkr\u00e1tka \u017eene \u010dlov\u011bka vp\u0159ed. Pl\u00e1n pro samotnou stavbu byl jasn\u00fd: pustit si k tomu po\u0159\u00e1dn\u00fd soundtrack a v klidu se kochat histori\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kapitola I: Kokpit a chemick\u00fd \u00fatok<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hned na startu m\u011b realita profackovala. Za\u010d\u00edn\u00e1m kokpitem, co\u017e je discipl\u00edna pro lidi s nervy z oceli a zrakem ost\u0159\u00ed\u017ee. Zn\u00e1te ten pocit. Sed\u00edte u stolu, na o\u010d\u00edch nasazenou lupu, z\u00e1da ohnut\u00e1 do tvaru otazn\u00edku a p\u0159ed v\u00e1mi se pomalu rod\u00ed legenda. Vnit\u0159ek se skl\u00e1d\u00e1 ze zhruba p\u011btat\u0159iceti mikroskopick\u00fdch d\u00edlk\u016f, kter\u00e9 prakticky pop\u00edraj\u00ed existenci hmoty. Brousit tyhle nesmysly a n\u00e1sledn\u011b je nutit, aby dr\u017eely na sv\u00e9m m\u00edst\u011b, je \u010dist\u00e9 model\u00e1\u0159sk\u00e9 peklo. Nezb\u00fdv\u00e1 ne\u017e tmelit a vz\u00fdvat temn\u00e9 s\u00edly, aby to v\u0161echno sedlo. Doplnil jsem leptan\u00e9 p\u00e1sy, kter\u00e9 m\u011b st\u00e1ly p\u00e1r \u0161ediv\u00fdch vlas\u016f, nanesl v\u0161echny ty miniaturn\u00ed popisky na bud\u00edc\u00edch a nakonec to v\u0161echno \u201eu\u0161pinil\u201c precizn\u00edm washem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

V\u0161echno \u0161lo podle pl\u00e1nu, dokud nedo\u0161lo na obtisky. V\u00edte, jak model\u00e1\u0159sk\u00e9 firmy miluj\u00ed barvy? Tamiya d\u011bl\u00e1 sv\u00e9 extra \u0159\u00eddk\u00e9 lepidlo (Extra Thin Cement) se sv\u011btle zelen\u00fdm v\u00ed\u010dkem. A Gunze m\u00e1 pro sv\u016fj usazova\u010d na dek\u00e1ly… h\u00e1dejte co? Ano, taky zelen\u00e9 v\u00ed\u010dko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kdy\u017e m\u00e1te na o\u010d\u00edch lupu a pln\u011b se soust\u0159ed\u00edte na dokonal\u00e9 usazen\u00ed dek\u00e1lu, va\u0161e perifern\u00ed vid\u011bn\u00ed funguje jen na barvy. S\u00e1hl jsem po zelen\u00e9m v\u00ed\u010dku. Otev\u0159el jsem ho. \u0160t\u011bte\u010dkem jsem l\u00e1skypln\u011b p\u0159ejel \u010derstv\u011b usazen\u00fd obtisk, aby se kr\u00e1sn\u011b vpil do povrchu… A pak se stalo kouzlo, kter\u00e9 by mi z\u00e1vid\u011bl i David Copperfield. Obtisk se s tich\u00fdm imagin\u00e1rn\u00edm zasy\u010den\u00edm prost\u011b vypa\u0159il. Rozpustil se do alternativn\u00ed dimenze. Teprve d\u016fkladn\u00fd pohled na lahvi\u010dku mi prozradil, \u017ee jsem m\u00edsto usazova\u010de pr\u00e1v\u011b pou\u017eil ostr\u00e9 lepidlo od Tamiye. Ponau\u010den\u00ed pro dne\u0161n\u00ed den zn\u00ed: zelen\u00e1 sice uklid\u0148uje, ale na model\u00e1\u0159sk\u00e9m stole znamen\u00e1 \u010distou ruskou ruletu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kapitola II: Neviditeln\u00e9 muzeum a nekone\u010dn\u00fd p\u0159\u00edb\u011bh prachu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P\u0159es drobn\u00e9 chemick\u00e9 nehody byl kokpit hotov\u00fd a vypadal jako skute\u010dn\u00fd stroj, ve kter\u00e9m si Eddie pr\u00e1v\u011b dal pauzu. A co te\u010f? Te\u010f p\u0159ich\u00e1z\u00ed ten moment pravdy, kdy sv\u016fj mal\u00fd soukrom\u00fd Louvre definitivn\u011b poh\u0159b\u00edte v \u00fatrob\u00e1ch letadla. Secvakl jsem bo\u010dnice do kompaktn\u00ed kapsle a vlepil ji hluboko do trupu. Je to fascinuj\u00edc\u00ed psychologick\u00fd test \u2013 str\u00e1v\u00edte spoustu hodin pipla\u010dkou, abyste to pak uzav\u0159eli do tmy. Je to jako vymalovat Sixtinskou kapli a pak tam nechat zhasnuto. Ale v\u00edm, \u017ee ty detaily tam jsou a Spitfire d\u00edky nim m\u00e1 du\u0161i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teoreticky zn\u011blo zav\u0159en\u00ed trupu jako z n\u00e1vodu pro za\u010d\u00e1te\u010dn\u00edky: vlo\u017eit modul, p\u0159iklopit a k\u00e1pnout lepidlo. Praxe u dvaat\u0159icetiny? Plast si v tomhle m\u011b\u0159\u00edtku \u017eije vlastn\u00edm \u017eivotem. Musel jsem povolat do zbran\u011b v\u0161echny kol\u00ed\u010dky a kilometry p\u00e1sky. M\u016fj drah\u00fd Spitfire vypadal sp\u00ed\u0161 jako hodn\u011b na\u0161tvan\u00fd plastov\u00fd je\u017eek ne\u017e jako hrdina Bitvy o Brit\u00e1nii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jakmile trup dr\u017eel a p\u0159ilepil jsem k\u0159\u00eddla, vstoupil jsem do o\u010distce, kter\u00e9mu \u0159\u00edk\u00e1m \u201eNekone\u010dn\u00fd p\u0159\u00edb\u011bh \u0161ed\u00e9ho prachu\u201c. Sp\u00e1ry v p\u0159echodech k\u0159\u00eddlo-trup neodpust\u00ed ani milimetr. Tmel\u00edm, brous\u00edm do hladka (\u010dasto i s trochou vlastn\u00ed k\u016f\u017ee), p\u0159ejedu to nehtem a… zjist\u00edm, \u017ee to po\u0159\u00e1d c\u00edt\u00edm. Tak\u017ee repete.

Kapitola III: Surfacer pravdy a preshadingov\u00e1 zebra<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kdy\u017e z 600 plynule p\u0159ejdete na 1000, 2000 a\u017e k magick\u00e9 8000 pl\u00e1t\u00fdnku, p\u0159ijde ob\u00e1van\u00fd okam\u017eik \u2013 surfacer. Ten nemilosrdn\u00fd \u0161ed\u00fd pr\u00e1ska\u010d vyt\u00e1hne na sv\u011btlo ka\u017ed\u00fd \u0161kr\u00e1banec. Zadr\u017eel jsem dech, st\u0159\u00edkl prvn\u00ed vrstvu a… z\u00e1zrak. Povrch byl hladk\u00fd, spoje l\u00edcovaly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ukol\u00e9b\u00e1n fale\u0161n\u00fdm pocitem bezpe\u010d\u00ed jsem se vrhl na preshading. Vzal jsem do pistole tmavou barvu a zkou\u0161el precizn\u011b obkreslit panel\u00e1\u017e. Z m\u00e9ho kr\u00e1sn\u011b sjednocen\u00e9ho letadla byla najednou kostkovan\u00e1 zebra, kterou pokreslilo batole fixou. V\u011b\u0159il jsem ale procesu a vrhl se na legend\u00e1rn\u00ed britsk\u00fd odst\u00edn \u201eSky\u201c na spodku letadla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Zjistil jsem krutou pravdu: tahle kachn\u00ed modro-zelen\u00e1 kryje asi jako rann\u00ed mlha nad Tem\u017e\u00ed. Foukal jsem jednu vrstvu za druhou a preshading na m\u011b po\u0159\u00e1d \u0159val jak neony v Las Vegas. U sedm\u00e9 tenou\u010dk\u00e9 vrstvy se ten modrav\u00fd p\u0159\u00edzrak kone\u010dn\u011b slitoval. Byla to d\u0159ina, ale v\u00fdsledek vypadal par\u00e1dn\u011b!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kdy\u017e se na to tak d\u00edv\u00e1m, vzpomn\u011bl jsem si, jak jsem podobn\u00e9ho Spita stav\u011bl v druh\u00e9 p\u016flce osmdes\u00e1tek. \u017d\u00e1dn\u00fd airbrush, jen poctiv\u00fd \u0161t\u011btec. A ta proklat\u00e1 barva Sky nekryla tehdy \u00fapln\u011b stejn\u011b! Jen\u017ee tehdy byla mal\u00e1 15ml plechove\u010dka Revell nebo Humbrol za 15 K\u010ds. Kdy\u017e to (\u010dist\u011b odhadem) p\u0159epo\u010dtu na dne\u0161n\u00ed r\u016fst pr\u016fm\u011brn\u00fdch mezd, odpov\u00eddalo by to zhruba 210\u2013220 K\u010d.

Kapitola IV: Maskov\u00e1n\u00ed kabiny a zr\u00e1dn\u00e1 p\u00e1ska<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pak m\u011b \u010dekalo vymaskovat hn\u011bd\u00e1 pole a st\u0159\u00edknout zelenou kamufl\u00e1\u017e. Kompresor si spokojen\u011b brumlal do rytmu The Trooper<\/em>. V\u0161e \u0161lo kr\u00e1sn\u011b. Pak ale p\u0159i\u0161lo velk\u00e9 odmaskov\u00e1n\u00ed. Tvary sed\u011bly, ale p\u00e1ska se na p\u00e1r m\u00edstech rozhodla, \u017ee plastu se nepust\u00ed a zanechala povlak lepidla. A na jednom m\u00edst\u011b si vzala barvu s sebou a\u017e na plast. Krve by se ve mn\u011b nedo\u0159ezal. Na\u0159\u00eddil jsem letadlu p\u0159\u00edsn\u00fd klid na l\u016f\u017eku a po\u010dkal, a\u017e to vytvrdne na kost, abych \u0161r\u00e1my jemn\u011b opravil mikromeshem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jakmile lak ztvrdl, nastal \u010das na \u010dernou magii zvanou panel liner. B\u011bhem deseti vte\u0159in vypadalo letadlo, jako by ho n\u011bkdo vykoupal v ba\u017ein\u011b. Do jedn\u00e9 ruky ucho\u0161\u0165our, do druh\u00e9 White Spirit a \u0161lo se st\u00edrat po sm\u011bru letu. Do repr\u00e1k\u016f hr\u00e1lo Caught Somewhere in Time<\/em>.
