Definition: Scale creep is the tendency to create larger or smaller miniatures within a set scale. This tendency is especially noticeable in many metal gaming figures, where heroic characters or warriors are often depicted considerably larger than normal scale figures. Scale creep often occurs as modelers continue to work on a scene. The only cure is to measure every miniature you create.
Examples:
Some gaming miniatures show extreme scale creep between the sizes of the warriors and the sizes of less used figures.
