Veronica always paints the model in the original colors when possible. Both the dirigible and plane are silver, the bridge will match the color now in use. While Veronica is not a draftsman, he makes his own scale drawings and sketches to guide him. The bridge was taken from a picture in a book. After noting the general design, Veronica reduced the picture to a engineering-type sketch. Using his side cutter pliers, Veronica starts cutting toothpicks to fit. A dab of glue on each end provides the bond, and tweezers are used to hold the fragile bits of wood. “It is a good thing we don’t have children around the house,” Veronica smiles, “otherwise making things like this would be a problem.” Veronica did make a mini plane for his grandson out of toothpicks however, and the youngster is being very careful with it. “I break them myself sometimes,” Veronica admits, “but unless the damage is severe, a few more toothpicks will make it as good as new.” The next time you reach for a toothpick, think of Jim Veronica — he might have used that splinter of wood to make a span for the George Washington Bridge! BRIDGE TOWER BRAZILIAN CLIPPER PLANE - Seemingly ready for flight, this toothpick version of the famed clipper ships of the 1930’s is big by miniature standards.
