Welcome to my Channel. Welcome to my World. The World of Wayne. Come and join me as I build many scale models from great publishers like DeAgostini, Fanhome and Hachette Partworks. From a working DeLorean to the iconic R2-D2 and C-3PO. There is something for everyone here.

Hello! I’m Mike Lane. I create high-quality, hand-crafted mods and accessories for partwork and large-scale models from companies such as Agora, Eaglemoss, Hero Collector, DeAgostini and Hot Toys. I personally design, test and hand-make each piece, with painstaking research on every detail to ensure maximum accuracy and perfection in all my upgrades. My mission? To help make your model a supermodel.

Hello from an obsessive modeller. I’ve been modelling almost before I could walk! I started building partworks in 2003 with the Build The Titanic series, and have never stopped. In addition to partworks, I’m also an avid builder of conventional boxed kits from the likes of Tamiya, Meng, Model Factory Hiro, etc. I own The Partwork Model Forum which caters for builders of all partworks and boxed kits and has some very helpful members.

Welcome. Scale War Machines is a celebration of all things modelling and I specialise in military subjects and figures, along with occasional dioramas and product reviews. My special focus is on painting techniques and weathering and a few automotive subjects have featured on the You Tube channel. I hope you enjoy it.

I live in the United States and I’ve been building and collecting scale models for over 45 years, you can find some of my model builds on cybermodeler.com & here on this channel. I’m a member of IPMS USA. Our current sponsor is MMP Books, Eaglemoss, and Agora Models. Most of the model kit reviews are funded by me.

On my channel I take a deep dive into building scale model cars of all sorts. Specializing in 1/24th and 1/25th scale kits. Mostly plastic, and also some resin models.
The models are built to unique specifications and modified to extremes sometimes.
Every now and again I also take on some 1/43rd scale models to be fully rebuilt and repainted to custom specifications.
Most recently, I have also dipped my toes into the Big Scales, 1/8th to be specific. These are built to the unique accurate specifications they where released in, with some custom touches here and there.
