Wow! Fantastic! Very impressive work. He looks so realistic. "Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory."

On the elbow question, I've had some success in the past with sawing the arm in two at the elbow joint (at a slight angle / \ to allow for movement) then hot-gluing some bendy foam cables (don't know their official title) in each section of the arm, allowing for elbow movement. A bunch of them together are more than strong enough to hold any pose you like. It worked well for me at least.
If you can't source the bendy foam things, I suppose you could use some foam pipe insulation with doubled-up wire inside (coathanger wire perhaps?), it would do the same job.

throwmetheidol - Thank you 
Imhotep72 - Magnoli is the man! Quality stuff! Thanks - wow a full size ark?! That would be so cool to have! I've seen those cherubs on ebay a few times, they look great!
jp3rks - many many thanks! It's the culmination of many years of work and collecting.
JediTrainer - Thank you! I was so worried about painting him, that I just left it white for 5 years - I only recently gathered my nerve to do it.
Al Elliott - Thank you for the tips! I'll try and look for that. I never considered using coathanger wire, that is definitely an option. Thanks.
I'd really like to bend his arm so he could have the whip hanging over his shoulder like the final scene in the village in ToD.
