Excuse me for the looong waiting.
As a first step, I recommend you to start with try and error, just to familiarize yourself with the interface. An advice: Sketchup isn´t friendly when doing curved geometry. You´ll need to figure your proper workarounds when doing this. Other recomendation, is to do a search for free plugins that can make your like more simple.
There are good tuts all around too, like these:

Hope that helps.
