It is now well known that Nature can make Carbon stars at lower luminosities than can (human) theorists. A number of workers, stimulated by this challenge, have been attracted to the problem. In this paper I review recent evolutionary models of relatively low mass AGB stars, with emphasis placed on the mixing of carbon to the stellar surface. In particular I discuss some recent improvements in the physics used to construct stellar models. These topics include: breathing pulses of the convective core found during core helium exhaustion; the effects of carbon recombination; the occurrence of semiconvection in the region between the two nuclear burning shells; and the importance of mass loss. Recent calculations have successfully produced models of low luminosity Carbon stars. The strengths and weaknesses of these models will be contrasted.
