Thanks everyone.

Pleased with how the base came out, although after all the time mixing the blue for the base it looks very close to British Rail blue! Oh well.

Oh, and a nice touch is that the ship actually comes off the base! Not sure how I managed that.....

And the landing circles aren't transfers - had to paint them using masks after the decal came apart!

Can anyone confirm whether Sheffield did actually have a Union flag painted on the roof of the bridge during the Falklands war?

I've never seen anything to confirm this.

No, she didn't. Not relevant to this but I do believe that HMS Coventry had a White Ensign painted on her bridge roof and that is probably where the rumour came from.

Really impressive piece of work, very fiddly small pieces to work with as I sit here and look at my potential next build of the 1:700 HMS Liverpool. How did you make the sea look so realistic, like it going at 20+ knots.

I'm really struggling with working at 1/700 scale. Think I'll stick to my 1/12 motorbikes 1/24 cars and 1/8 scale Pocher kits. 

Many advice greatly appreciated
