Sandpaper.

For rendered walls, lightly gouge bits off to represent broken chipped plasterwork. You can also create cracks by scoring with a craft knife.

Locally, our major hardware chain sells a spray paint for ‘distressing’ furniture for the ‘shabby-chic’ look. It gives a matte, slightly powdery finish. The light grey version is also useful for such things as bunkers or anything with a smoothish concrete finish. No doubt there is an alternative local to you.

Fiittings, maketh the model. Bending, plastic rod to make adornments like downpipes and attaching semi circular or u-beam plastic bits as guttering helps no end.
