The construction of self-consistent evolutionary models of complete massive stars is discussed, from their observable zero-age main sequence configurations through the various hydrostatic nuclear burning stages, iron core collapse, bounce, outward-going shock formation, explosive nucleosynthesis and supernova light curve formation. Implicit hydrodynamics are incorporated with a new treatment of time-dependent convection and semiconvection, and Population I stars of 15 and 25 solar masses have been completely evolved. It is found that these models yield excellent agreement with the observed properties of type-II supernovae while predicting the ejection of newly created elements in the mass range from oxygen to iron in ratios close to those observed in the solar system, but with greatly enhanced abundances relative to hydrogen.
