In the five years since the last invited paper on model stellar atmosphere applications there have been many significant advances made on all fronts. The five aspects which I will cover in this paper are:
(1) the results of white dwarf model atmosphere investigations;
(2) the results of the inclusion of non LTE phenomena in the atmosphere computations of hot (T > 15,000 K) stars;
(3) the probable understanding of the cause of peculiar abundance patterns in the Ap and Bp and Am stars;
(4) the advances in theory and observations of cool star atmospheres; and
(5) the use of synthetic spectra and colours.
