Models talk with Poles (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

patterns

'models' is the definition.
(I know this)

'talk with poles' is the wordplay.
'talk' becomes 'patter' (I have seen 'Rapid talk ' mean 'patter' so perhaps 'talk' could also mean 'patter').
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'poles' becomes 'NS' (North and South poles).
'patter'+'ns'='PATTERNS'

(Other definitions for patterns that I've seen before include "Repeated decorative designs" , "'Models, blueprints (8)'" , "Guides for making something" , "Designs seen in transept" , "Models for making things" .)
