Hey Vin,
There have been quite a few threads on paint, air brushes, and compressors...but I don't think anyone has done it on all the other tools of the trade.
But here is a nice little list of some things I like to use:
Princeton Art and Brush Company or Windsor and Newton Series 7 paint brushes
#20/0 Spotter
#10/0 Spotter
#20/0 Liner
#10/0 Liner
#5/0 Filbert
0 Filbert
1 Filbert
2 Filbert
4 Filbert
MicroMark set of Drybrush Brushes
Dremmel or Sears Craftsman Rotary tool
Lasco Diamond for your rotary bits

Mainly I recommend:
BD10-2 Diamond cutoff wheel
31P Titanium Bur
(these two bits will do about 90% of your rotary needs)
AVES Apoxie Sculpt for your putty
Windsor and Newton Brush Cleaner
3M Sandblaster sanding sponges (all grits)
Devcon Plastic Welder and 5-Min Epoxy
Great Plains CA CA (Cyanoacrylate) glue and kicker (Cyanoacrylate Accelerator
MicroMark Diamond Mini Files

No Brands for this stuff, just things you will need:
Steel Wool
Linesman Pliers
needle nose pliers
Vicegrips
Wire Cutter
Putty Knives
Hobby files
Sandpaper
Pinvice
Drill and drillbits
Scribing tool
Hobby Knife
You will use more as you move on, but I think this is the basic list of things to get you rolling. I may have forgotten an item or two, please forgive me...I still have not had my first cup of coffee yet.
