I'm not too bad at modeling - and have built the rest of the model, but this particular shape really has me stumped. I've tried going down the subdiv route, and also boolean - but I cannot seem to get the right curves and it all goes to pot when bringing supporting edge loops into the mesh.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

You could try it this way:

  • Create a 32 vertex cylinder, mirror it on 2 axis:

  • Pull the central face with Proportional Editing activated, choose the Sharp option:

  • Create additional edge loops:

  • Pull the top face, this time with Proportional Editing Smooth option:

  • Rework the topology a bit so that you don't have too stretched faces, add bevels to sharp the edges:

  • Here is what it gives with a Subdivision Surface modifier:
