For arches above the windows I seem to recall an old technique for using paper to make such arches. This involved drawing the brick on the paper - real old-school time consuming stuff - in a pattern then cutting the mortar lines part way through and bending the arch over the window with the cuts on the upper side of the arch.
For a stone arch perhaps you could do the same only instead of cutting mortar lines on top of the arch, cut notches below so that there's little if any gap between stones. So instead of fanning out the bricks, you're compressing the stones together.
Another option would be making a master or two then casting resin duplicates. I may tend to go that route with so many windows.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
