This model was designed in Blender it is free to use and I would love to see what you do with it if you decide to use it.
DO use this model for commercial works, non commercial works, taking down Master Fang's temple of corrupted kung-fu zombies and avenging your masters death.
DO NOT use this model for reselling or redistributing in any way shape or form, or otherwise dodgy business.

My son was just ogling a set of those at a friends house...lol
speaking as a kid who made his own nunchucks, blowguns and the ever popular bat with a nail through the end of it I would point him towards 3D modeling since it's less painful to get hit in the back of the head with it.
Hmm....must have grown up before the mid 80s, then...
Those were the days....parents even bought their kids CHEMISTRY sets...oh, the fun...
Did you use old broom handles, or go the custom route and buy 1.5" hardwood dowels? Or go and cut some branches from an oak tree and carve them into shape, after letting them age for a few months?
Don't think it has to be before the 80's unless it's different here in Canada. My baby brother made his own Nunchucks and we worried for years about brain damage and lack of grandchildren...lol
Here in the US, by the mid 80s 'nannyism' (that's about the time lawyers found how lucrative lawsuits could be) started taking over and all the fun things that previous generations did started becoming 'unsafe' and as time progressed...worse.
I grew up in and around NYC in the mid 80's and if you wore a helmet while you rode a bike it was assumed you were either recovering from a massive wipe out that caused severe cranial damage out or you were looking to get pegged with a dirt bomb (they had rocks in them) like a duck in a shooting gallery. Shirts didn't have sleeves, they had Japanese writing on them which made you a bass@$$$ (but they probably said "I wear frilly panties and sleep with stuffed rainbow unicorn bear!") And if you had a tattoo you were either in the armed services or did serious time in jail. Seriously, If you walked out of a mall with a tattoo because you thought you were tough my sisters would have beaten you down for being a phoney. Video games had pixels, and sometimes you were that pixel, the objective was to get to another pixel or shoot that pixel with longer pixel and 160x190 resolution was HD, though we didn't use these terms to describe any of this: you were a dot: the dot moved on a green screen, so it must be grass, if the screen turned blue you were in the water, red you were on fire, nothing crashed, there were 60 lines of code in the entire game and it ran in less than 4k of RAM.
Broom handles, dog chains and black electrical tape were the recipe for chucks or 3 section chucks because we saw them on the Kung-Fu movies that dominated Saturday afternoon TV and usually stared a guy suspiciously named Bruce Li, that's Li, not Lee.
Blowguns were metal pipe, later PVC pipe, loose leaf paper, tape and a nail. you made a cone shape, stuck the nail on the end taped it up and cut it to fit the pipe, you could get one stuck in a tree from 50 feet, what the hell were we doing and how did we make it out of our teenage years? [/end old codger rant]
Old codger...lol Well we may be older, but will most likely live longer then today's generation or any that comes later. We played in the dirt (sometimes literally) and have antibodies for everything, we actually went outside to play, run around and caused general disorder for the neighbors and talked to people face to face, we ate food that was generally locally grown and far fresher (also had less chemicals in it), Compared to today's sanitized, chemically fed, can't get off the computer, game machine, iphone, etc, generation, I say we were better off. As to the risks we took, they made us stronger and less afraid then today's generation, although I think today's generation has a better chance of fighting a zombie outbreak thanks to the movies and games...lol
The nunchucks my brother made were in two sections, was funny watching him practice and hit himself...lol
