Martin o-28vs bridge placement

Almost finished building a Martin 0-28VS type parlor guitar but I appear to have mislaid the drawing I had for bridge placement.
I did the usual measuring from nut to 12th fret and then double that -plus 2mm etc-- but that appears to place the bridge very far down the body towards the tailpiece.
When I look online at one of the martin 0-28vs it looks like the bridge on these guitars is further up towards the soundhole--maybe the pics just show it that way.
So, these guitars are 24.9 scale and 12 fret to the body and if anyone has built one i would appreciate any info regarding where to put the bridge
Many Thanks
Rusty
