Mike, you do some great scratchbuilding - more than I'm motivated to do. From that perspective, the CNC probably does help alot. Keep going on your project!

You definately do NOT need CNC to build model car parts. Its just very very useful if you are going to do mass production, or if you are doing a very complicated part. There are also some parts that just can't be machined with any accuracy without using a CNC machine (ex, some wheels).
Freakmech, you are definately right - it really helps to know how to do the stuff manually when developing the code. Keep in mind though, you generally don't actually
write the code - you tell the software what you want, and it turns that into the code. You really don't want to even try to learn how to write in the code though - it is scary to look at.
