It ain't that hard ;-) Simple example; in the model

     /**
      * Thumbnail
      *
      * @var \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference
      */
     protected $thumbnail;

     /**
      * Sets the Thumbnail
      *
      * @param \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference $thumbnail
      * @return void
      */
     public function 
setThumbnail(\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference $thumbnail)
     {
         $this->thumbnail = $thumbnail;
     }

     /**
      * Returns the Thumbnail
      *
      * @return \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference
      */
     public function getThumbnail()
     {
         return $this->thumbnail;
     }

In the TCA of the record:

         'thumbnail' => [
             'label' => 'bla',
             'config' => 
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig(
                 'thumbnail',
                 array(
                     'appearance' => [
                         'createNewRelationLinkTitle' => 
'LLL:EXT:cms/locallang_ttc.xlf:media.addFileReference'
                     ],
                     'maxitems' => 1,
                 ),
                 $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext']
             ),
         ],

And of course thumbnail should be in the interface and show item 
definitions in the TCA.

In ext_tables.sql

thumbnail int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,

will do. You need to update the database in the install tool after 
editing the sql.
