Bacteriophage model

We had an project that we have to make an model of a bacteria or virus
Since i was away on the day the project was assigned,
i got only one night to finish it
the material was limited and i figured i might do something that looks complicated but doesnt require many material
so i found this bacteriophage
First thing came to my mind was i can use iron wires to make the "legs"
and somehow i found the spring that i could use as the body
but it bent easily so i inserted a iron wire inside
after that i just cut paper to make the two "plates"
and used super glue to put everything together
the head troubled me for a long time
i tried paper balls but it didnt work very well
i tried to use mashroom doll but it fell
then i noticed this gacha ball
BINGO
the T2 bacteriophage is done

this project took me the whole night but i really loved it!
