First go at a swamp base, used Vallejo mud and ak swamp water gel and some assorted tufts. Feel like I have too much water and the whole thing is shiny (hoping a Matt varnish will take the edge off). C and C would be appreciated. I've put some early progress photos in so you can see the process a bit
So I had a DAS course setup to get full licence including CBT. Now I honestly can't fault the school or the instructors they were all awesome, really enjoyed the CBT road rides but due to a few hiccups they wanted me to do another day on a 125 before going up to the bigger bikes (just ironing out control issues nothing massive as I still got my CBT). Turn up today feeling a bit down as I can see the others on the big bikes but try to make the best of it. They even gave me a much nicer 125 to ride on than my CBT (was on a lexmoto on CBT they gave me a honda). Controls were ever so slightly different and long story short in two laps round their little track I almost stacked it, hit neutral instead of first so coasted and missed the rear brake grabbed front and had a hell of a wobble but saved it. Confidence however after that was absolutely shattered so I made the decision to call it quits on the day which the instructor agreed was probably best. They are going to see if they can get me a few extra solo lessons but my course is basically in the bin and a hell of a lot of money down the drain. So feeling a bit bummed out and this is my vent.
Any advice on what to do to continue, I really enjoyed riding and still want to finish off my licence but clearly doing it the rapid option is not a good idea. I was thinking of just getting myself a 125 and going round my back streets for a few weeks and see where we go.
For context I'd never ridden a motor bike before, I have full car license and have done a few intensive further driving training.
