heres the unpainted one. apparently you can swap out faceplates and limbs

My guess is he either sands the shit out of it or he uses some special kind of paint that is thick enough to not show the 3D layers

3D model as in what, sculpting or actual printing from 3D models?

Regardless, you'll need to sand the material down with fine sandpaper and learn how to paint properly. It's upsetting how many good custom figures are ruined by shitty thick paint applications.

And is this Daunting Mountain by the way?

3D printed models is what i meant. if you made a mold from the original 3D model would it still show all the ridges in the final products?

by those stubs on the hands it looks like molds. Which he probably made through 3d printing.

Did you even bother searching for an answer first? This isn't a trade secret or anything. You smooth it the way you'd smooth anything comparable. Basically clean, sand, prime, paint.
