Copy it, then mirror it, and weld all the vertices.

Your selection will be red. Use the wireframe views and under the 'Groups' tab use the 'Select' key to help when duplicating and mirroring the correct side. Once you duplicate the first half you should be able to simply mirror that to the opposite side.

I don't use MS much these days So, I'm sure someone else can be more helpful...

The duplicated selection should show up as a separate group under the group tab. you can select it from there. if it doesn't show up there then you did something wrong.
