Ad- no worries on the tute- I dont have much time now either.
I am attaching the wires below-

twisted- yep-polies.. I started with a box and just kept cutting and pulling. I didnt concentrate on one area at a time, I made the big shapes first then cut in more detail.

with this model I spent more time on the poly detail as opposed to having to tweak the sub-d later. My computer started to go really slow the last time I started to add creasing and working on level 2 and 3 verts in sub-d.
