No I won't write it for you as that would be counter productive...But I'll try and point you in the right direction

The easy way of doing this would be to model it in a 3d program and load the model.

If you wish to do it manually...

Think about how you would have a function draw a cylinder... Say its specified as a radius, how many segments around the y axis, and how many points along the z axis...

Now using these inputs instead of just raising them strait up you want to curve them. I would recoment either doing 1/2 a tourus or fitting them to a sin curve, depending on the look you want...

If you wish to do this yourself, and need more help I can explain a little more how to do this at a later time.

Ohh, my bad, there are so many people who come here asking people to do their code for them I kinda always assume its not a joke.

As for the NURBS curves, I''ve never used them much in OGL, so I cant be of much help. The very little I did use of them I learned from http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/~c.ramakr/articles/dls/nurbs.pdf
