Unorthodox popes try to make models (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prototypes

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

'unorthodox popes try to' is the wordplay.
'unorthodox' is an anagram indicator.
'popes'+'try'+'to'='popestryto'
'popestryto' is an anagram of 'PROTOTYPES'.

'make' acts as a link.
