Why don't you check the fantastic Schreiber's Titanic, full hull and designed to operate by RC. Also check the Gomix Titanic. Both models are really works of art. They are even better than the plastic rendition by Minicraft.

Silly? I'll have you know that my 1:200 Titanic is waterlined and looks absolutely splendid even without a diorama. The Taschen model is way off and I'll tell you why: The paper is too shiny, the bridge only has 7 windows vs the Rose model which has the full 9 and the windows look ridiculous. The lack of full hull is your own opinion, not everyone else's. Here's the thing about the Bogen model, it's flawed too. example: the way the stern forms looks horrid.
