Just putting this out there. But what would you say is the hardest part of model ship building.

Probably for me it would be parts of the rigging, getting the tension on the lines can be tricky....

Yes definitely the rigging. The Victory was my first build of a sailing ship with full rigging/sails. Bearing in mind that the Victory had some 26 miles of rigging with a scale of 1:84 that is still 500+ yards of rigging to install Still well worth it when you see your finished model Current Build:-
[color=blue]Stash Avro Lancaster (Full Kit)plus some extra issues I picked up at a good price
[color=blue]Built:- Norman Catapult by Mantua,Roman Catapult by Mantua,HMS Victory,HMS Victory XSection,Focker DB1,Bismark,English Carronade Titanic Lifeboat,American Civil War Gatling,Hummer,Sopwith Camel F1,Occre Jupiter ,OcCre Wagon, Latina Arab Dhow, Eaglemass Orrery OcCre Rogers 119 [color=red][color=red]RB7,OcCre Missippi River Boat, Model Airways Fokker DR1

I find planking the hardest.Getting a smooth run of planks and tapering properly is quite a challenge.I don't mind rigging, but I am a surgeon so I am used to tying knots etc and using instruments.
