bigature
n.— «There are going to be a mess of miniatures. We coined that phrase “bigatures” on Lord of the Rings and this is going to outdo them all. The miniature we’re doing for Miraz’s castle is 24 scale, village, and exterior location at 100th scale and both miniatures are bigger than this tent. They are colossal things.» —“Prince Caspian—Set Visit to Narnia” by Kyle Braun UnderGroundOnline Sept. 4, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
