The detail work is actually pretty excellent for what it is! As for the surface texture, it's more a limitation of current printing technologies than anything else. IIRC, you can order a smooth plastic print through Shapeways if you want, but all that gets you is a blank white template, and not everyone has the specific skillset to hand-paint a model to high-quality results. Sandstone is a solid middle ground for getting good custom results without yeeting time and energy into a peripheral skillset that might not have other uses.
