The two rooftops are now drying in the sun of a new day after being sprayed with matt black paint. I've added a brick chimney to each rooftop and cut half an inch off one of the rooftops, which completes the build phase. This evening I'm planning on getting the first layer of brick paint done.

These look great! I like the chimneys and the rooftop doorways a lot. Nice to have sunshine for drying:)

Let the painting commence! For the brickwork of both pieces, I have sponged on a red/brown paint mix. Once that had dried, I have airbrushed cement paint over the cornerstones and rooftop ledge. For the other rooftop, I am thinking of using a light grey.

I agree, this looks rather impressive! One example of how much reward it can bring if one focuses on one specific theme. You've become such a specialist on brick walls and urban dioramas, that it's hard to tell whether those bricks are stone or foam.
I especially like the details on the chimney (last pic) and the beige/flat grey details on the right section. My mind is blown once again, Sir Richard!

I've airbrushed a neutral grey to the cornerstones and rooftop ledge on one rooftop. On the other rooftop, I airbrushed concrete to the inside of the rooftop ledge. After they had both dried, I applied the 2nd coat of paint to the brick, which also covered up any overspray from the airbrush.  Using I brown wash, I coated the concrete cornerstones and ledge and then painted random brick on both models with the wash.

The next steps will be to paint the floors and roofs before adding a dark wash to the grey cornerstones and ledge.

The other unpainted building is for the next commissioned rooftop.

I really like that paint job. Makes sense to "batch" the work so you've got "product" for future commissions (if yo have room to store them).

I'm now on the last leg of painting these two!  I have dry brushed each of the four walls of each building and chimney using a light grey. I have painted each door with magnolia which will be washed down or painted over (not sure right now) and then painted the roofs by sponging on a light grey and while the paint was still wet, I sponged on a dark grey and then left to dry in the afternoon's sun.

The final touches for painting will be finishing off both the smaller building and adding electrical boxes to complete the builds and begin the next rooftop.
