Hi guys, currently learning to use a blueprint as reference

Got the setting up referring to this link
[Link to www.escalight.com]

Currently, I'm thinking on 2 ways to start it:
1) using splines and extrude later
2)using a box and cut away the extra parts.

But Im not sure which is a better way to start it, or is there a better way/tutorial to start?

Thanks for the help in advance
Bai
