I know a firm I used to use in a previous job that sold foam strips that had different densities, while they wouldn't be approachable (You'd get 101 questions about why you would need it, MOQ's, market etc)

Though along the same lines, you could try a DIY store or hardware store that sells these foam strips such as ones that go in door frames etc, failing that, there are also the pads used in ink cartridges, but these tend to be pretty dense so i'm not sure how good they would be if you managed to slice it in half.

You could also try making your own using expanding foam, though I couldn't say how effective that would be hole wise and the fact it wouldn't be too flexible.

Either way, you're probably going to have to experiment with different sponges to find one that works for you]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743452/9675754.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743452/9675754.page GMT Camo pattern on small models http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743452/9675830.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743452/9675830.page GMT Camo pattern on small models
I did this with my Flames of War German tanks, works well. You also may want to google camo patterns for Flames of War/Bolt Action Tanks and see what comes up.

This can work too. There are a LOT of camo patterns out there. Diff patterns achieve diff looks. Really just depends on what you want.

I did Splinter camo on a bunch of germans which is basically triangle and then connect with sharp lines.

This was what I was going to suggest; small dead brush with relatively stiff bristles. Did autumn SS camo on some 1/72 Germans that way and it came out pretty good. Would have to do some serious digging to find them and take pics...

This approach to layers also lets you use the space a bit more efficiently and it lets you work down to the finer points. Start with the base, then do larger patches and smaller with each layer, with overlap on the colours in most cases. It'll avoid some of the challenge, and a good fine brush is really an asset for freehanding this stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743452/9682506.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743452/9682506.page GMT Camo pattern on small models
To avoid that a simple pattern like KingCracker's above will work best for this scale.

Here are a couple decent tutorials:
