Welcome! I am fairly new myself. I have found a lot help in forums like this and also on you tube. I do not have a ton of advanced equipment. I am using brush paints, Vallejo acrylics, with Tamiya thinners and coatings. Here are a couple basics videos. I recommend starting with inexpensive kits and mid priced tools an materials. I found a lot of advice overwhelming at the beginning.
