Good morning. The fix of my mizzen mast is on hold until I can find some decent wire for the dead eye strops for the fruttock shrouds. I’m mean time :
I inserted the eyelets at base of each mast.I left these brass as they fit with the cannon rigging. 4 rather than 2 as I am going to use extra rigging from plans- I hope my interpretation of the Victory rigging is correct and 4 is sufficient.
I made the anchors- not too much change from plans- the bands on the stock I used tape cut to size rather than rope. I first used cardboard but these band were too bulky as in photo. I seized the brass ring with 0.25 thread and stained black with Indian ink. I also rounded the end of each stock and used exacto blade and sanding stick to shape these.
The hole on the stock where shank goes through had to be shaped bigger and oval as the head of the shank is bigger than the shaft. To fill the hole I used tape wrapped around prior to gluing the stock.
I am debating adding the contrast seizing (3per anchor ) on each ring.

Let's hear what the Victory experts say. 
it never stops, does it?
