Oh, sure, if I'd had the piece that was broken out I would have just glued it back in.  I was amazed at how well the wood putty served.  Another plus: I already had it!  :)

I've not altered the angels' form much before now (adding the flowers), but when I've needed to repair something, or fill in the hole left by a wire halo, I've just used wood putty.  I used it to replace a good sized chunk that got broken out of a resin angel's skirt, and with just a little sanding after it dried, you couldn't see or feel the repair in the finished death angel.

Usually what I wind up doing in that respect is using a bit of glue to re-fit the piece if its available, and I use 5 minute epoxy on a few things and it makes a great hole filler

Green stuff is awesome once you work with it a bit.  The real trick is to keep it from sticking to you fingers and tools rather than what you want it to.  [Tip: dip your fingers and tools in water while working with it.  works great]

I think I might be able to do a bit better next time by doing a tidbit of sculpy overlay

Green stuff would probably work too, but i haven't played with it much. (there are of course chaper sources than what i linked.)
