Lath and plaster lime ceiling repair - skim with gypsum?

The link information is as clear as day even providing a link to another forum where it is explained in detail but I will explain in layman's you overboard ceiling then you stop short at the coving by a couple of cms you then use a plasterboard bead to create a shadow bead this bead gives the illusion of being part of the cornice in other words you are adding a step to the cornice when done properly it looks nice and you get a nice fresh ceiling to skim this should in my books have been offered as an option now as for reporting back in a few years if the cracks do come back it will be a lot sooner than that
Here is a link to an example I found on the Internet he's made a pretty good job of it and I'm sure who ever it is won't mind me sharing a link https://goo.gl/images/qJnTyH
Yeah, I thought that was what was being suggested, and as I say in my mind the coving design we have would not look great with this detail.

For the money I think you have a good job, and you seem pleased.
Overboarding has many advantages, but somehow takes the history and originality out of a building, not that most would care nor notice.
Yeah I think it had come out well, assuming reasonable durability, I am very happy with the looks.

Thread update; we're now just over two years and no issues at all to date. Looks like new.

Room above is our bedroom and en-suite and used daily. We have also added a pair of moulded plaster ceiling roses.
