Sean,
It's an entirely LEGO solution: the bottom tyre rests on the head and is
locked in place with a 1x1 round plate (push down hard - the tyre will flare
slightly over the head). Another 1x1 round plate is put on top, then the
second tyre, then one last 1x1 round plate on top (which holds the top tyre
in place). It's fairly secure.
Only the top 1x1 round plate is visible when assembled, so I was able to use
up lots of otherwise idle trans yellow and trans orange 1x1 round plates.
My horse artillery lieutenant (and now my hussar lieutenant) has a plume of
3 1x1 round plates (2 white, 1 red) on top.
Hope this helps... it's certainly reduced my stockpile of 'useless' tyres
and odd-coloured 1x1 round plates!
Cheers
Richie
