My only suggestion for the head is to add another 4x4 blue wheel (the kind with the 4 technic holes around the circumference) on top of the one you’ve got there, attaching the three white round plates to those holes either directly (studs in) or by a half technic pin (studs out). I’d then cap it off with a 4x4 blue radar dish.

In any case, good job!
