>3) For the Pewter Plague, what is the prophylaxis?

Keep it where it's not cold, i.e. room temperature.
Keep it away from non-metallic tin (seal it properly after painting). If

you handle a mini you think may be infected, quarantine it, and wash
your 
hands before you handle others.
And, the best, but a little hard to do after the mini is done, make sure

there are trace elements of antimony (or bismuth, but that is far less 
common). like Jon says there is in the alloy GZG uses.

There's not much else one can do.

Funny how all swedes I ever talked to about it call it pewter plague,
while 
you english speaking talk about lead rot. The symptoms seem very
similar.
This probably just means that:
a) Once you've heard of some sort of solution you're likely to stay by
it, and
b) Cold is more of a problem in sweden than acetic acid is ;-)
