I don't know where you got the idea that you need a new model for each new skin.
You have multiple skins per model, so one good one and 3 battle damaged, it would be around 65mb-70mb for 35 models.
personally, if clothes are ripped, i wouldnt like to have them just skinned on, that sux and doesnt have any depth in it, but modelled in looks alot nicer thats why
for example, when a model has clothing sticking out, and they would want that battledamaged, it wouldnt look very nice if that piece of clothing would just be skinned, you would get a clothing model with a flesh skin on it...would look rather weird
