8 of them make a really nice tank.

Nicly done, and good proportions in relation to the tank.

If I spot correctly the trick of the inside structure is 2x part #60474 Plate Round 4 x 4 with Pin Hole, that are placed back to back, joined by an axle and 2x part #3713 Technic Bush. The cutouts on one of the rims of the Technic Bush fit between the studs of the plate and prevent these from turning.

   The inside structure is enough strong (but probably not for a kid).

I might have a suggestion to improve this a bit. I think it’s possible to strenghen the inside structure by using a longer axle, 2x part #3709b Technic, Plate 2 x 4 with 3 Holes instead of the plain 2 x 4 ones, and by replacing some of the Bricks 2 x 2 with parts #6232 Brick 2 x 2 with Pin and Axlehole

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
