Here's some new wires from a quick clean up, I reduced the geometry drastically compared to the last wire frame spaced my quads a little bit more evenly and followed Adam's advice on straightening my vertical loops. I think the result is much cleaner than my previous just have a lot of re adjusting to do now :)
Not a bad first go chap. A lot of the issues you have with blobbyness are the edge loops aren't straight so defining those curves is made harder. Select the verts one vertical edge loop at a time and goto front or back view and 'Align to View' this will pull them all onto the same plane then goto side view and adjust…
