it's quite an easy mesh to work with. Remember. Tris, Ngons are totally fine on a flat surface.

Don't be afraid to keep a cleaner mesh by using tris and ngons. If it's not going to deform that to say.

1. I model the primary shapes (as always, concentrate on the bigger parts)
2. I split up the bottom and top part, so I can work on the more "advanced" bottom part. This way I can see where to kill off some of the loops going through.
3. Put them together. weld
4. subdivide.
