Has anyone else been following the developments on this? For these that haven't, V@S is Mongoose's WWII naval game built off the ACTA rule set. They are preparing a second edition, along with a line of resin ship miniatures to go with it. What makes this of interest is that the minis are going to be 1:1800, which is the same scale as War at Sea. However, unlike W@S, these minis will have cast-on water bases.
Here are the blog posts Mongoose has been doing, which include previews of the ships:

I'm excited to see some resin ships which should be a bit more affordable than the metal model ships. And already molded to bases will just make it easier for guys like me without any good basing skill.

Yeah, I think these are looking pretty good too. I will tell you, though, that a lot of players in the W@S community have mixed reactions to this. While they are happy to see another line of 1:1800 scale ships that might one day fill holes left by WotC, the molded bases are a bit of a turnoff for some as it doesn't match the rest of their collection.
