A little cheating is alright. Even with board by board, most don't use real tongue & grove or ship lap boards...nor have I seen a mortise & tenon joint...so cutting corners is par for the course! 
Clover House offers glass which is the same thickness as microscope covers...0.006". They also have a scriber tool for "cutting" it.
If something has "modern" glass, then I'd use one of the above. If it has early 20th/19th century glass, I prefer clear plastic. I plan on using real glass on my pre-war HO passenger cars...but clear plastic on all of my DSP&P cars.
