More About the Author

Dr. Fred DeRuvo is the author of numerous articles and a growing number of books related to religious studies. Fred received his Bachelor's degree from Philadelphia College of Bible (now Philadelphia Biblical University), and his Masters from Tyndale Theological Seminary. Fred is also ordained, has his D.Div (Cambridge Theological Seminary in Cambridge, OH), and is finishing up requirements for his D.Th from Northwestern Theological Seminary in Florida.  

Fred enjoys teaching and taught in the public schools for roughly ten years. He is involved in his church in teaching Adult Bible Studies classes. For fun, Fred and his wife Silvia (also an author), ride his Suzuki Marauder '04 1600cc motorcycle. Fred enjoys writing and the research that goes along with it. Fred also enjoys building and painting model kits. He lives with his wife and their two college-age children in Northern California.

Fred is an ordained minister and is also involved in jail ministry as a volunteer chaplain.  Each week, Fred heads to jail to bring the Word of Truth to inmates locked behind bars.

Fred views himself as "on assignment" from the Lord. His job, until he is taken in the Rapture, or dies - whichever comes first - is to bring the gospel to those who are lost, in a world that is dying and will pass away.  

Christ died for the ungodly and Fred agrees that he is certainly one of those that Christ died for, in order that he might have eternal life, which is God's gift to humanity.  Fred endeavors to share the good news of Christ's death and resurrection, which was an atonement for sinful humanity, in order that we might become God's adopted children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value model book..., August 4, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: From Graves to Caves:: Modeling Your Diorama! (Paperback)
This book is printed in full color. Though the pages are not glossy, I don't feel this has degraded any images within. This is similar in print to some comic book graphic novels you may have. I also expect this helps keep the price low, which is a plus.

This book covers dioramas for subjects such as: Buffy (The Vampire Slayer), Terminator, Dinosaurs, the (Tumbler) Batmobile and Batcave, Flintstones / Dinosaur, (Monogram) Dracula, The Wolfman, Predator, "The Crusher" figure, the Munsters, and (my favorite), a resin HG Wells Time Machine.

Each project chapter has written tips and ideas. Some of the techniques will save you time, since you can see what works (or may not work) with different mediums. Including plastic, resin, styrofoam, wood, sculptamold, Foam Coat, putties, glues and more. If you like to create dioramas to go with your model projects, this is a book you want to add to your library. I also like the fact that there is a lot of scratch building going on here, rather than "out of the box" accessories. Things you will want to try yourself.

Along with the building, there are plenty of tips and ideas on how to paint your project. I've been building models for 40 years and even I learned some new things. :-)
