Thanks Barrie that's roughly how I've built mine.

Apologies, Tim and others


No, you are not going mad.  You are quite correct


I failed to ensure brain was in gear before engaging mouth writing finger.
Yes, Will has a bowsprit.  I had not looked at any pictures except the photos in the instructions - which all show the bowsprit raised for docking.


Sorry for any confusion

Hi here is a pic of my long finished model of Will Everard. She is built to the same scale as yours but scratch built in wood from doubled up drawings of a 24" long table top model set of plans.Yes it definitely does have a bowsprit !

One from a slightly different angle :

Barrie (or anyone)Small point.
Did you cut out below the skylights on the cabins?Not sure if it's worth it as there is no interior to display.

No Tim. I painted the insides black   I often do this with windows when there is nothing to see inside. I haven't glazed them yet but when I do I will use some 2mm mahogany to make frame.

Hi, first posting on this site but really need some guidance, wife and daughters bought the Will Everard for me last year and after a bit of a struggle have completed the hull and most of the painting. It was then put away for the summer and I am now trying to get my head around the fitting the rudder and upper deck.
I am really confused by the instructions (lack of), the instructions for the rudder refer to F39 brass wire according to the legend in the manual. I have a coil of copper wire but no brass wire !. I am finding it very difficult to identify the parts.
On the plastic parts it refers in the instructions to F823/i or other letter but can’t find any lettering on the framework.
Would be very grateful for any tips or advice on best way forward other than binning it and getting a simpler model.

Hi Malfen,
Regarding the Rudder, brass rod and brass sheet to make the Rudder and Brass Tube to fit the Rod.Or if you don't want to solder the rudder together then you could use Styrene/ Plasticard enclosed over a Brass Rod shaped rudder.
A lot of info can be had from looking at the AMBO Web Site.

Good Building.

Len.

Thanks very much Len, I have discovered that I am missing f663 and f39 brass wire which has been causing me a bit of confusion!!! Hopefully will be able to get these items and progress a little further

I have a diagram of the plastic sprue supplied by another member of the forum. However the file  is too big to attach here.  If you let me know your email I will forward it to you.
