Help Needed! Old Crocodile With Damaged Head - Advice On How To Repair

So I recently got my hands on a pretty old small crocodile with a damaged head. I was wondering if it's an easy repair and what materials I should use? I was thinking something like plaster of paris to fill the hole and then paint it, but I'm no expert so any advice would be appreciated!

@Museum Man Thanks for the advice, but it's a bit late unfortunately. Nobody replied so I just had to figure it out myself.

If anyone has a similar repair in the future, all I did was squirt some super glue in the crack and then carefully lifted the upper jaw to make the space that needed filling as small as possible. I then filled it with polyfilla which you use to fill small holes/cracks in walls and then painted with watercolours and finished with varnish.
