Our work seeks to investigate how massive stars form through a combination of multi-wavelength observations and radiative transfer modelling. We have a set of 20 objects, the largest dataset so far for which this sort of in-depth analysis has been done. In this poster we present interferometric data from the Very Large Telescope's MIDI instrument, images and profiles from its VISIR instrument and output from 3D radiative transfer models of the massive protostellar environments.
