If the breaks are in a way that they'll fit right back together tape it on the outside and use some Aves Epoxy sculpture on the inside to lock the two resin pieces back together. Just something to hold it will you do the fitting of the broken pieces so that they fit back together flush, and not unworkable later. As long as you can get the pieces back together flush, you can then start to work on the inside of the bust, making it more secure and beefed up with more Aves, or fiberglass cloth and resin, or both. I would suggest then, to foam fill it if you can, only after the brittle thin overall casting is fully reinforced from the inside, otherwise the foam could very well distort and break the bust out further becasue of how thin it currently is. Good luck, and if you need any help, I'll to help you.Tyler
