Hi MBL, difficult to answer your question simply because every modeller finds different things difficult. Some struggle with planking but are quite happy with delicate kind of work such as rigging.

The instructions for the Vic has been compiled to teach you the skills you need as you go along so what may look daunting just now will be easier when you get to that stage, simply because of the skills you will have learned. My advice would be stick to the instructions, post pics on your diary often so we can help you as you progress if you need it and follow other builds especially the official forum build and the official video build. We can also highlight easier ways of tackling certain task that you may be finding challenging.. Right now you're progressing very nicely so keep the pics coming and I look forward to your next update...

Regards

Alan
