We present a first step towards complete stellar models for massive stars that treat the entire star including its wind. Our models are based on state-of-the art non-LTE atmospheric and interior modelling. The models yield the stellar evolution under the constraint of realistic atmospheres as well as line-blanketed continuum fluxes and H and He line profiles. We follow the evolution from OB to LBV, Ofpe/WN, and WR stars. We investigate the effect of line-blanketing during MS evolution. We adress the effect of an the extended atmosphere on the evolution and discuss the first results for WR stars.
