If you don't mind me asking, what are you using to model these in?
They are all modeled in Wings3d.

Will you be able to add the caustic effects, the overlay and normal maps too..?

It would be nice if they had all the same effects as the existing ones so they don't look out of place.

Things I think are difficult...

1. Caustics - think this is just a dat file edition
2. Overlay - I have no idea how they are generated to look as they are, but the alpha is just the basic Texture file in greyscale.
3. Wakes etc, imported ships often have huge wakes - think this is an easy fix too... just dat editing and making nodes etc.
4. Reflections - ???
5. Interior damage model -????
I do not know how to add these things because I usually don't work on SH4 ships. Later on, I may browse the SH4 forums for any posts on the conversion process.
