I'm posting it here because there is ongoing discussion in the hobby about shrink models, and those that start smelling like vinegar and leak. As it turns out, once this starts to happen, it can cause damage to other models, so its best to isolate these examples from your main collection.

Here's another article on the same subject.

Food for thought for those of us with a lot of plastic ponies--looks like we do need to think a lot more about how we keep them.

Thanks to Kelly Korber Weimer for posting these on Facebook.
