This paper presents some preliminary results of work aimed at producing model atmospheres for the steady-state, constant luminosity continuous ejection model of classical novae. The results are generally, applicable to any object with an outflowing atmosphere driven predominantly by radiation pressure in an optically thick continuum. In particular it is aimed at removing the limitations of assuming blackbody photospheric boundary conditions and strict LTE and the problems associated with their definition.
