steel sheet pilings

Hi there

I want to create a steel sheet pilings wall in HO scale, as used in building pits or on harbour quay walls. It consists of trapozoid-shaped sheets, connected to each otheralternating back and front.

Of course I could make a mold for creating plaster copies, but that's a lot of work. I have never seen or read about a polystyrene sheet that comes near this design.

Does anybody has an idea how to make this type of wall?  The height is about 4" and the length about 2'.

Hope you can help.
