I'm trying to remove the old paint from my bathroom ceiling. Its extremely cracked and flaking off. I've tried a regular scrapper and a carbide scrapper, both are making dents in taking the paint off, but not much progress.

Has anyone had something similar and used a heat gun, orbital sander, or other power tool to make removing it easier.

Here is a section I started scraping next to an untouched part.

Here is part of the ceiling I haven't gotten to yet:
