I saw the Australian Production of the show last year. The sets were great, and looked extremely expensive but they were nothing like Broadway or Touring sets. Instead of having the whole stage, they had a single elevated platform, much like the one the greek chorus stand on at the end of act 1, and during act 2 they had it slowly tip, to the point where the actors were almost slipping down it.
For the rest of the ship, they would have, say, the elegant 1st class cabin, to the 3rd class cabin, completely normal in Act 1, and in Act 2 they had deformed and tilted versions of the same scenes.
For the end of act 1, they didn't have a model ship. It was just a normal scene of the pilots cabin, and then suddenly everything went black, and they had a really loud crunching sound from the orchestra, with screams from the cast.
I've got some pictures of the show, but no real good ones of the set.
A little known fact is that in the original screenplay, Pan's Labyrinth was Pan's FLAByrinth. Hmmmmmmm...glad they changed it.
