I decided to add a few curtains and shades in the windows. Prototype pictures showns a lot of them on the second floor, in the freight room too. Curtains were made from a folder. Drawn with colored pencils.
and voilĂ !
Before installing once for all the bay-window, I drawn its locations then painted it in black to give more depth.
Plastic chimney was randomly painted with acrylics: brown, red, dark brown, orange and tan.
I then coated it with a layer of oil paint: white + ocre + black. This paint was then removed with a cloth, leaving paint in the mortar lines. Working with oil gives better result than acrylics who just smear the surface and make a mess most of the time. Finally, using colored pencils of various shade of brown, burgundy, orange and tan, I touched up the brickwork randomly to give it more realism.
The final result:
