Beginner 3D Modeling- Grandfather Clock

ttkurok

Hello! I am a student working on a 3D model project for an introductory class for 3ds Max. Our current project is modeling a prop of our choosing that has to be under 1000 polygons.
I have been working on this for about a week already, and I am moving on to the UV unwrap and texturing.

Any advice in how to approach this process, or edit the model before I unwrap/texture would be greatly appreciated!

This is the image I was basing the clock off of. It doesn't need to be 100% the same, and I decided to take an element from another clock design
