About Mike Lane Mods

Written by the company

Let’s create a supermodel.

I’m a man on a mission to make your model the best it can be. I’m best known amongst the partwork modelling community for my upgrades and modifications to the Eaglemoss DeLorean Time Machine model, however I also create high-quality mods and accessories for other partwork and large scale models from companies such as Eaglemoss, Hero Collector, Fanhome, DeAgostini, Panini, Hachette, Agora Models and Hot Toys.

My products are painstakingly researched, designed and tested to ensure maximum accuracy and exceptional detail. Each mod is handmade in the UK – personally crafted and packaged to my exacting standards. My mission? To help make your model a supermodel.

A labour of love

My mods often begin life as upgrades for my own model-building projects. My full care, attention and passion go into every piece I develop. I approach my work as a genuine enthusiast – and I want you to enjoy my model enhancements as much I love creating them.

Exceptional quality

All my mods are crafted to exacting standards. That means high-grade materials and precision design details in every piece. They are then packaged with care and delivered to your door. You’ll find my mods fast, easy and fun to fit – bringing an instant luxury upgrade for your model.

Detail is everything

A model is more than an object – it’s a key to the imagination. The more accurate the replica, the more the fantasy comes to life. As a stickler for detail, I love to take awesome models and make them even more magnificent with special added touches.

Remote Control Function: RESTORED

Following up on a previous review, I received an 'update' kit from Mike Lane Mods to restore my lost remote control function in my Ghostbusters ECTO-1 and Eleanor Mustang models that had Mike Lane Mods' Power Mod and RF Remote Control combo upgrades in them. Mike and his team included two USB-C switches (one for each model) that will isolate the power mod before disconnecting power retaining my remote control code memory which will prevent this issue from manifesting in the future. Re-pairing my remotes to the previously installed power mods was super easy and I had my functionality back in minutes. All without having to disassemble the vehicle saving me hours of work and stress! Thanks to Mike and his team for their hard work and backend service with these fantastic upgrades!

Great products. Not so great communication

Well I have to say Mike Lane's products are second to none and if you have no issues with the installs and I've done many of them from Mike Lane. Everything turns out terrific. But if you do have issues the unfortunate thing is my experience is no one is good at getting back to you or replacing broken parts. I messaged them about buying a cord that I broke and was told just buy something new and they'd send me a free cord. I bought some things I didn't even need. Never sent me a new cord. Also that's only one of three times I tried to contact customer service the other two times radio silence. So my opinions excellent products

So I have to add an update Mike reached out and I believe this was a mix between misunderstanding and emails going spam. Mike has gone above and beyond for the issue I was have. So thank you Mike for everything.

Reply from Mike Lane Mods

Hey Steven, I do apologise for any misunderstanding or failings here. Usually when spare parts are requested we ask that a note is left at checkout, this would be the only reason it was missed if you didn't leave a note perhaps. Please could you email me or leave your order number here so that I can look into this and get back to you, I’m struggling to find any correspondence from you currently. Thanks, Mike

I had a surprise yesterday as a box was sitting in my parcel delivery slot in the garage. I had no notification of any parcels due, only an email my order was on its way, and no one knocked the door. It contained all the remainder of my order for the Batmobile 1966. Now my Batmobile will come alive with Mike's magic, his ideas turns your dream of building a model that's static into a living masterpiece that lasts for years. All his mods work wonderfully, thank you Mike for making mods of high quality and we love you for them. PG

I had an excellent experience with Mike.

I had an excellent experience with Mike. He was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. His guidance made the installation of the Power Mod much easier, and thanks to his advice I was even able to complete the install without fully dismantling my DeLorean model.
The product is high-quality, works flawlessly, and the support behind it is outstanding.
I truly appreciate the friendly and professional assistance — based on this experience, I will definitely be buying more mods from him in the future.

Highly recommended!

Mike is your one stop shop for all your large scale model modifications. I’ve been a customer of his for a couple of years and he ships products out quickly and has excellent customer service. He’s the only one you need to bring your model to the next level!

Much easier with this mod

The wiring for the Nissan skyline is a nightmare with some being too short, the extensions these guys do work perfect, quick delivery, easy to use and makes the whole body shell sit a lot better, didn't use the spare bulb for inside the rear end I had already drilled a hole to make it reach, nice touch with the haribo sweets too, if your building the skyline the wire extension is a must

1/12 Routemaster RM857

I ordered the 1/12 Routemaster Bus from Mike Lane, the very bus I worked on as a Conductor many years ago. Mike is very efficient and I received it in no time at all, great customer service.
I have already started the build and it is an exceptional model and brings back so many memories.

A 1:12 Routemaster Masterpiece — Delivered with First-Class Service

Finally, a bus that always arrives on time—and this one fits perfectly on my shelf! The 1:12 scale Routemaster kit looks absolutely stunning straight out of the box, with so much detail I half expect a conductor to jump out and check my ticket. I haven’t even started the build yet, but I can already tell it’s going to be a showstopper. Delivery was faster than a rush-hour express, the service from Mike Lane Mods was nothing short of first-class, and I couldn’t resist adding the remote-control power mod to make the experience even better. Worth every stop along the way! So excited!!
