No problem! You can see the hailfire wheel is not actaully attached anywhere,
but it is held on by the beams protruding through the centre. If you look at the
pic above you can just see the wheels that hold it down. You can also see the 4
wheels mounted sideways that keep the superstructure centred on the turntable.
They are quite a tight fit, but they work well and the turntable turns very
smoothly, even with a lot of weight on it.
There are 4 axles protruding from the base that stop the hailfire wheel from
turning by fitting in the outside "teeth".
