Hi Les, the building is looking good. I think the idea offered about pillasters for the corners is a good one. You can buy (if you don't already have) brick sheet by a couple different manufacturers, I've used N Scale Architects (they make HO too) You would just cut a strip, fold a 90 degree bend in it, and scribe the edges to get mortor lines on the edges as well. Line up the courses with those on the wall and glue in place.
I don't think your roof is too high.
Regarding the question you asked earlier (just cam eback to the thread now, sorry) the way I made the rows of windows even on the Quinn Ball Bearing plant was to not cut teh windows out from a sheet of styrene, but rather to cut vertical and horizontal pieces from .060 styrene sized as to leave the desired window opening when they were edge glued together. They were cut on a small table saw to ensure same dimensions. I used a square and straight edge to edge glue them together, then brick sheet as I mentioned above was laminated to the subwall. An exacto knife then was used to cut out the openings for teh windows in the brick sheet from behind, using the subwall openings as a guide.
