I washed, waxed and detailed all my diecasts and then put their new little car covers on them
Wonder what's next

OOOOOOOOOOO... never thought of that !!!!!!! 
Gotta tell you I was laughing pretty hard as I put their little covers on. Maybe I'll take them down and have them embroidered with the appropriate year emblems... hmmmmmmmm.
Also, I am gathering shop stuff from 1:18 scale dioramas however..... you know..just in case there is a flat.. or when they need service

They are to cool but I don't want to hide my collection so how can I clean the inside of them. Wonder if the dishwasher would melt the windows and other plastic pieces? I have soaked them in dishwasher detergent and warm water but it doesn't clean all of the dust/dirt.

Thats a great idea for the Monopoly Board. I have the Vette edition as well and was trying to figure out a way to display it. You do it yourself or did you you have it done?

WOW!!! Very cool! My wife tries to make me dust my die cast cars. I tape them down with duct tape and then I use the leaf blower on 'em! She hates it when I start that gas powered blower in the house, I say open a window and quit yelling at me - geez!

My Wife is more **** about her vette than I am of mine. I let her drive my car, but she doesn't let anyone drive her's.
Every mod I have on my Z06 - she ordered and paid someone to install. While I was in Japan, she ordered my Maggie and had it installed in my Z06. She has it bad!!!
I'll make sure she doesn't see this post about diecast's w/ car covers, she'll want some for sure!
Hmmm, I wouldn't trade her for nothin!
