Funny I just happen to be working on one of these myself.
However, I am following a tutorial at this link
http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tut...ay-Day-2/52333
It's a Maya tutorial but is simple enough that most of the modeling should have some lightwave counter part. Not sure how useful the texturing section in day 2 of the tutorial will be but hope it helps you out.
Here is the link to my version
