There are numerous modeling applications for a used toothbrush. Here’s another one, for 1/35 scale figures: Cut off a bristle, paint it white or light gray, and use it as a cigarette. You can thicken it up with white glue on a toothpick. Paint the end black or dark gray, then, finally, a rust color to represent the burning end. Bad habit, sure, but World War II soldiers always had a smoke handy.
