Modeling Masonry Wall Detail

Can someone suggest the best way to model brick profiles as shown on the attached file? Do I break the walls up into separate elements?

Each depth of element : running brick, mortar and soldier units [deeper] can be done with separate complex profiles. One for each thickness

Once the elevation-traced fill is created, make each complex profile wall perpendicular to the massing wall where the window is.

It will be satisfying and beautiful.

Thanks Dwight!
How about the arch detail - window component or a complex profile?

Part of the profile.
The window won't cut through this profile - the profile must be applied on the face of an existing wall like a cardboard stage decoration.
