We are exploring the properties of obscured starburst galaxies, using observations of atomic fine structure lines taken with the Short Wavelength Spectrometer aboard ISO. However, it is important to ascertain how well our starburst models can recover the properties of the stellar populations in more distant starbursts. For this purpose, we use observations of a nebular “shell” in the 30 Doradus region, to show that our models reliably predict the presence of the very massive stars observed directly in the 30 Doradus region.
