Thanks.

   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.

That’s correct.

   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 instead of the plain 2 x 4 ones, and by replacing some of the Bricks 2 x 2 with parts #6232

It’s a possibility. But not sure it will strengthen the structure, as the main issue is that the panels are only connected by the 4 top studs.

Just waiting for a 6x6 round plate now :)
