/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hello, /diy/.
/g/entleman here, I've got a question.
I've recently become interested in making and fixing old steam engine models, and thought it's a good hobby to start with.
My budget is 200 dollars for tools, plus 100 for steam engines.
Having had nearly none experience with OWNING power tools, but having used lathes and numerous mills in the past back in school, I'm a tad curious as to what tool I should buy.
My first option is a small metal lathe:

Second option is one of those chinese 6 in 1 kits.

Can you do anything interesting with aluminum and softer metals?
Thanks in advance.
