Welcome, hope this /r/ will help you get started off well.
Dr_Von_Spaceman covered the basic tools well enough, so here's a couple of suggestions (from an aircraft guy) for kits that would be good to begin with. Hobby Lobby typically carries Tamiya kits and both the 1/48 scale A6M2 Zero and 1/48 F4U-1D Corsair are extremely well designed and relatively inexpensive (don't go to HL without a coupon!!) . The Zero would be especially good for a first kit as it isn't very complicated, goes together almost flawlessly, has a basic paintjob, and still has a few small challenges to keep it interesting.
One thing I'll add to the supplies list would be a chunk of modeling clay (the stainless clay is good). This stuff is incredibly useful for myriad modeling tasks. You can use it to hold parts on sprues or toothpicks while painting or assembling. Make a small indentation in a lump of clay and put a few drops of superglue in it, then dip a toothpick or cut sewing needle in for application. It also makes a good, quick mask for certain painting situations. Just get the clay, you'll keep finding uses.
Very cool. Something I found when doing green stuff Nurgle conversions was using silicone tipped sculpting tools to make the transitions smooth.
They're not expensive and do a great job of getting into those small areas and smoothing out the greenstuff down to the plastic where fingers don't fit and metal tools don't conform to round areas as well. Just dip it in some water before you use it so nothing sticks.
Is this model going to get a backpack?
Can't wait to see the rest of your plague marines!
I gave up looking for it. Mostly because everything I came across seemed to be a little unclear as to whether it was safe to use for small craft, if there was any fumes, etc.
Instead, I think I'll be trying this product. The fact that you can just remelt it if you mess up is neat, I waste way to much product with Amazing Mold Putty and I'm thinking the liquid nature of it might give me a more precise cast.
