Paints: can't go wrong with Tamiya, and Model Masters (by Testors) is also good, and easier to find than Tamiya! but BE SURE you get Acrylic... it's water based, so it dries faster (enamel, on the other hand, sometimes doesn't dry at all!!!), and it's easier to clean up spills... you don't even have to buy thinner... just use a jar of water!
Glues: Super glue works fine, but I personally use "Extreme Power" Cyanoacrylate glue, found in the model car section at Hobby Lobby in a clear tube with a green label.
Tools: decent paintbrushes (not those crappy Model Car brushes... get one of those $7.99 Leow-Cornell brand brush packs at Hobby Lobby and you should be fine), X-Acto knife (and plenty of blades), small Philips head screwdriver, flat-head scrwedriver, and pretty much anything you may have laying around...
Putty/Sculpting stuff: GreenStuff! I haven't been able to find any in stores... I get mine off e(vil)Bay.
