Today I'm going to show you how to make a realistic plastic material like this: Firstly, I recommend you to see this video tutorial about how to setup a SSS node in Cycles made by @pauljs75. The overall setup of the yellow plastic is as follows: I have used two SSS nodes to get my base SSS material. I have used the method explained in the video tutorial. The color of the SSS node is the base color of the shader. The color of the RGB node is the scattered color.
