We combine the results of a large HST study of rich LMC clusters with state of the art N-body simulations. We summarise recent highlights from our project: the estimation of age spreads in young LMC clusters, the measurement of the binary fraction of NGC1818, and the determination of deep cluster luminosity functions (LF). We also present preliminary results from an investigation of the core radius versus age relation evident among LMC clusters.
