Here's some pics of the start of my Sherman Crocodile for the Burn Baby Burn campaign. I'm using parts from 3 kits, the trailer is from the Tamiya Churchill Crocodile kit, Hull and turret come from the Tamiya M4 and the running gear plus transmission cover from the Academy Achilles.

I've wanted to make one of these ever since I saw Steve Zaloga's article in Military Modelling some time back - just never seemed to have a Croc and an M4 at the same time LOL.
Good start, keep it up and let us see it when it's done!

Here's an update on my Sherman croc, sorry the pics aren't too good
I do however have one problem the rear door to the trailer has broken on the sprue and one part appears to have been consumed by the carpet monster . Oh well I'll be on the phone to the importers tomorrow.
