HOW
TO MAKE THE FLAIL (SELPHIE'S NUNCHAKU)
Needed material:
* A curtain stick or a broom stick of about 3cm diameter (better if
already colored)
* Black and silver adhesive tape
* Plastic chain
* 2 screws ending with a ring
For the coloring:
* Red syntectic spray glaze (if the stick has to be painted)
* Vernidas or transparent protective paint
Procedure:
Saw the stick in 2 pieces of about 70-74cm, paint them with red
syntectic spray glaze if needed. Then screw screws ending with a ring
at one end of each stick.
For the chain use a plastic or metal chain
with large rings, we chose the plastic one because, even if in the game
the color is silver, it's lighter and cheaper, furthermore in the vinyl
model 1:6 that we used for the measures it was black. The chain length
should be 95-100cm.
Open the rings at the top of the screws (bending them) and insert one
end of the chain in each of them, then close the rings so that the
chain can't exits.
Now it's time for decorations.
First put a strip of black adhesive tape (3cm high) on the lower part
of each nunchaku (near the end opposite to the chain) at 3cm of
distance from the end. Next put 2 strips of black adhesive tape (1,5cm
high) on the part near the chain of each nunchaku. Put the first at 3cm
of distance from the end, then let a 1,5 cm space and put the second.
Then cut 2 "0" shapes from a silver or gray adhesive tape, with outer
dimensions of 4x2cm and with a 0.5cm space inside. Stick them 1,5cm
above the bigger black stripe, for a perfect work put them parallel to
the ring at the top of the stick.
Finally give a coat of vernidas or transparent protective paint on the
surface of the nunchakus, let dry and you'll have yours perfect
nunchakus like those of Selphie.
