You've seen my current motley collection!I want to see your buildings and tips for outside dwelling models
but despite that, my top tip would be the beading of all interior joints with car body filler!
Best price locally is JeeJays in Alfreton
Secondly, the clear plastic from CD cases (available cheap from Poundstretcher) makes brilliant glazing which doesn't appear to discolour as quickly as the stuff supplied with the kits

Have had the odd problem with acrylics being ever so slightly less weatherproof than masonry here. I use acrylics as tints to masonry paint when mixing the various Compton hues.
If you're lucky your local tip is as helpful as ours.... they keep anything useful back for re-use which includes dozens of opened & unfinished masonry paint in various colours - all FREE!!!
good luck with the village, look forward to hearing progress
