If your a newbie, i would box model it!

Start of with a box roughly the same size

Cut it up using either by sub dividing, knife or bandsaw.

Then keep doing that till you've got enough points,
move them about till you happy with the rough shape then "tab" it and move points even more!

This is a fantastic tutorial that will introduce you to many of Lightwave's modeling tools.
