First the basecoat. I usually use some cheap acrylic base coat for metal parts/cars. No need for a fancy pro-baseacoat. Use white/light basecoat if you want your model to have vibrant colors. I use white or check the zenital lighting basecoat/undercoat technique on google.
Then using airbrush I use a main colour, Then one highlight colour and one shadow colour. Details are done with a sharp brush. There is no need for it to be super fine. Use size 1 or 2. I use acrylic paints from Vallejo as they are cheap and decent.
I use two different varnish (matt and shine) to additionally improve the difference between the materials/colours and to protect the paint during gaming.
Curious but what/how did you get that great effect on the yellow? Airbrush and wash? If so what was the wash?
