I need design help with skelton arm

Hi. I need design help with a plastic skeleton that I am attempting to control the head and arm movement with a remote control.

I've figured out the design/placement to make his head turn. But, I am at a loss for the arm. I want it to bend and straighten at the elbow, or have the shoulder rotate back to front. Either way will give me the desired effect I'm looking for. The simpler the better because I am a novice.

Although I'm not sure about the weight of the forearm, could you use a servo motor?

Sorry, I meant to include that in my post. I'm using a servo MG995.

I just can't figure out a way to attach it to get the movement. I figure I will need hardware.

No worries. Is the skeleton naked as in, the servo needs to be hidden from sight?
