any tips for stripping cornice?

Hi again!
I am still on those walls............:D and am trying to clean up the cornice as I go around.........the paint ( which I am guessing is the ceiling paint..flat white ) has bubbled, lifted and cracked in places. It doesnt seem to have an undercoat applied. I can poke the knife thru and flick bits off...:oo:......but not all of it.........

Is there an easy way of dealing with this? Can I point out its not a flat cornice but quite fancy with little hollowed out bits.....and my little orbital sander is no help!............:no:
I want to repaint but not in ceiling white.............
cheers
Jan
