Omoplata is like a kimura with the leg. You should be able to use your hip pressure to keep his arm pinned between your body and his. There are many, many ways to set it up. Here is probably the most basic way to do it.
You have closed guard with double wrist control. Continually rock Uke back and forth and you push and pull his arms. This keeps him off-balance so you can control him.
Stretch his arms out and pull him forward with your hips. This overextends the Uke towards the mat. Open your guard, placing both feet on his hips. Push out to make more space and extend him a little more. Control one arm so it is trapped by your hip.
Pivot to the side with his trapped arm. On that side, bring your foot over his shoulder towards his ear. Let go of this arm and grip his belt or low on his pant leg to prevent him from rolling. If you need to, you can grip his arm with your other hand for control. As an alternative to gripping his pant leg or belt, you can reach through his legs and grip his trapped wrist. Keep close at this point.
Continuing rotating until you are parallel to your opponent. You can push on his head with your free arm if you wish to get more pressure. Make sure to get your other leg free and to the other side of your body. Continue bringing your leg over his shoulder so you get your knee on the ground!
Sit upright with both legs bent towards the outside. Your "omoplata" leg's foot is near the other one's knee. This lets you pivot over it easily.
If Uke tries to stand up, straighten your leg and pull downward with it. Then, while keeping control of his body with your leg and hand on that side, scoot out away a little and pull his leg straight (if you gripped there) to further break his posture. Keep control of his body with your close hand, or he could roll away!
Keep tight with Uke flat on his back. Now sit up and slide your close arm around his back and post your elbow on the ground near his hip. You trap him between your hip and your elbow. Make sure you trap his attacked wrist between your body and his body, so you can leg go of it.
Rotate your body over your "omoplata" leg's shin forward or slightly away while keeping your weight down.
Tap!
It is a complicated movement at first, but with practice it gets very easy. Here are some good articles on the omoplata:
