I modelled men's underwear for a Dutch department store in my early 20's, when my body was athletic and godly and free of scars and my head was adorned by a golden blonde hair. It was really quite difficult as it involved wearing polyester underwear, which really is very unpleasant, tensing up the stomach muscles to show a 'washboard' to the camera (just for info; those washboard stomachs you see young chaps sporting in glossies are about 40% make-up, 40% photoshop and 20% human), sprinting back behind a screen several times to change into another pair of lurid polyester undies as the photographer was paid by the half-hour, and then suffering the ridicule of everyone at the rugby club who'd visited the department store and seen a 3 metre high poster of me staring down down at them wearing only my undies.

Oh, and yes, the agencies do provide a rolled up sock for making the bulge more impressive.

It doesn't pay well. Gisele Bundchen might be paid several thousand per photo, never mind per shoot, but male models are usually students who´ll be lucky to get any more than minimum wage.

Leather chaps, open shirt with hairy chest and a Ginger syrup is a bad look.

Is 'syrup' Cockney rhyming from syrup of figs, a wig? So ginger syrup is a ginger wig?

Or this:

modeling is easy the difficulty is getting accuracy.

If it is possible to make this judgement, what is the most difficult to model, the economy, or the global climate ?

I would have thought the economy, because negative & positive feedback happens so much more quickly and with an applied and evolving intelligence. As soon as you publish your model it will be used, which will invalidate it.

That's just how I picture a guru in the sas field, except you forgot the leather cap.

The one with the most human involvement.

I was wondering if there are any professional modellers here, possibly a guru with a Sas background, who could answer this question for me.

It really depends on what answer you want and how much budget you have.

Both are a piece of piss provided you input enough falsified data and hit the right fudge buttons.
It is a bit like when you go on holiday to the Far East and buy Polo Shirts, and the local tailor asks you which designer badges you'd like him to sew on for you. That kind of a thing.
