Rudy has been involved in creating historic dioramas since he was a child.  This recent piece is titled "La Noche Triste" and is dedicated to his father, who died in 1998.  It's a battle from the Spanish conquest of Mexico.  During the progress of the diorama, a film was made and was sold to Spanish TV.
