It's absolutely not accurate for small objects. I had a few laying around and was interested in making one but didn't bother until a coworker asked me to print out a custom part for one of his Gundam models. I threw it together (using the better XBOne Kinect) and tried to scan the 4" tall Gundam and just got a little blob regardless of which method I used to scan (both rotating the object or rotating the Kinect around the object). I think it would definitely be more useful for something like OPs project or scanning something much larger.
I also used the 360 Kinect to build a kinetic sandbox which operates on the same principle but without the same output and that worked really well.
