These are civilian Polish ships so You don't need to ask us about "letting You do them" at all.
(If they were military You wouldn't have ask too, but it would create some bad feelings. )
Good luck with Your work!

Basically always start with looking into main archive, as well as using "search" feature to check if the particular ship You want to draw hasn't been made already or redone relatively recently (some ships that were drawn long time ago and become outdated or found to contain some significant errors are quite often redrawn) or if it isn't on someone's Worklist (that can be checked via "search" too, and all Worklists are in General Discussion forum).

Easy part done.

How am I doing so far?

That looks pretty good so far style wise. I can't say anything about accuracy as I'm on phone at the moment. One thing you should change to meet SB standards is the waterliine, which should be 3px. thick, 2 black lines with a different colored one in the middle. Usually this line is dark grey, but sailingships, especially ornate ones, can use a different color. Use the ship's paint scheme as your guide.

Update on Lwow

Ship itself looks nice so far, but don't use so much black or near-black on sails.
Look on these, for example:

I love the cruiser. What is the secondary armament?

Those are 130mm DP, at least they play the role.
The actual drawings I used are US 5"/38 (12.7 cm) Mark 12 and Japanese 14 cm/50 (5.5") 3rd Year Type.

I will redo the drawing.

While the US 6'' turrets and 40mm Bofors fit in the setting the ship is from the 5"/38 (12.7 cm) Mark 12, do not.

A bit of a experiment. My earlier Destroyer SAM conversion.
Two 130 DP turrets and torpedo armament removed.
light AA mounts upgraded to 57mm.

Current armament
1xII 130mm DP
2xII 57mm AA
1xI SAM launcher


One more thing.

I was asked what will I do if I had extra budget for the US Navy.
That was my answer.
Give US Navy units new paint jobs.

paint job used from this ship.

188.0 meters (water line)

Nice work with Lwów.

Picture of repainted Ticonderoga is unfortunately rescaled.

As for the Zulu class...
-wrong template,
-wrong crediting (if You used - and it seems that You did) ship drawn by someone else as basis for Your work You MUST credit that person,
-missiles should be positioned above the launcher,
-this ship is too small for such large missiles - where is the magazine? Below? Not enough space (missile is longer then You've got space to keel). In the superstructure? Don't seem to be of proper shape,
-location of radars seem bit odd too.
