Supporting model making toast for Hans? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prosit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'supporting model making toast' is the definition.
'prosit' can be an answer for 'toast' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'supporting model making' bit.

'for hans?' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'pro' (as in being 'pro' something).
'hans?' becomes 'sit' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pro'+'sit'='PROSIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prosit that I've seen before include "Drinking salutation" , "Good luck to you" , "A German toast - good health" , "Sir, opt for a toast" , "I sport during German toast to your health" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
