That's a great start! Will you be adding any washes or using artist's oils for added color depth?

A simple black wash from a drop of enamel and an ounce of mineral spirits will bring out all the 3D detail. A soft dry brush with a light colored artist, tube oil, like a yellow ocher will highlight the sun bleached spots.

Painting stone walls is a lot of work. But the results are well worth the time.

Here's a similar type building in 1/35 which is nearly done now. It's made from MDF and covered in polymer baking clay.
