Nice start!
Just a small note, the anchors are assembled a bit differently in your picture than was done in reality. The way you have them, they would not be able to grab hold in the sea bottom. The stocks should be turned 90 degrees. If the stock is not already glued, it should be easy to fix.

Thank you. I will definitely fix this. I was thinking to buy steel ones, it would look much better.
 
While I waiting for sails and dead eyes, because I never made them and size of dead eyes I have ordered them. I started to make a new stand for ship. I don’t like the one in set. Here’s a few pictures of my progress.

Not really necessary if you don't want to. If you really want metal ones, I would go with brass. The one rigged on the model in the photo above is wood painted black. I have used both cast metal and wood and cannot tell the difference when they are complete.

If your ship is the Halcon of 1840 the anchor stocks in my post above may be wrong. I just did a little research on the schooner Halcon and anchors in general and found some interesting information. This admiralty pattern anchor, or “fisherman anchor " design remained unchanged for centuries, but there was an overall move from wood stocks to iron stocks starting in the late 1830s and early 1840s. This style can be seen in the photo I found on line which I am pretty sure was taken on Water Street about a block from pier 17 at South Street Seaport in Manhattan.
