About Dandyfunk Arts
Our Craftsmanship
At Dandyfunk Arts, we specialize in creating exquisite custom wooden ship models for display. Each model is intricately crafted to capture the beauty and detail of the age of sail, ensuring they are not only visually stunning but also historically accurate.
We take great pride in our quality models displaying traditional 19th century marine craft through expressive renditions. Each model has its own uniqueness by focusing on the details that reflect years at sea and the daily toll of wind and surf.
Our Restoration Services are offered at the highest level. Every ancestral ship model procured is treasure found, A family heirloom, a past family member's pride and joy, a special gift... whatever the circumstance, we will handle your model with the utmost respect. Each restoration strives to protect the feel and patina of the original model.
