Bouncing around a little, while forming some of the top planks around the stern, I planked the fore deck. Old t-shirt material works well for clamping, much better than rubber bands in my opinion, especially since you can easily control the tension and get a lot of coverage. Seen in the back the material is not just holding the plank flush with its lower neighbor, but holding it to the curve.

Pictures from the when the America was at the Naval Yard clearly show the large skylight was rectangular panes, not tiny windows as the etched parts have. In fact the skylight from the America is in the Mariner's Museum in Newport News. This is the great thing about this build, so much historical data available. So while the brass guards on the panes might be hard in this scale, I'm at least going to match the 5 pane design, just not sure how yet.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
