i am making power armor mark Vll and need some tips. Can anyone help me.

Have you tried Google? As I posted the other day when you asked about making cardboard Power Armor, there's a ton of tutorials and DIY videos and blogs on the internet.

You'll need a small scale nuclear reactor, a quarter ton of carbon nanotubing, a scuba rebreather, a nanotech engineering degree, and some Chobham armor stolen from Britain.

Try Deviantart or Tumblr, you can find some cosplay tips there if you need them.

Have you seen the gak they say Carbon nanotubes and Graphene can do?

It is the Emperor in molecular form. The chobham is just there because you need the plating to make it space marine power armor and not a Crysis Nanosuit.

Care to be a bit more specific? Costume? Model? Miniature?

... note that what you're trying to do is, by everyone's estimation, not exactly easy. The general vibe that I'm getting is that, if you start now, you should be done in time for the expo next year.

Not a chance you'll be done in a month. Sorry. :/
Maybe if you worked on it full-time, with no breaks on weekends?

I work a mere two minute stroll from the nearly-built Graphene research lab in Manchester.

I am excited by this, even though I have nothing to do with the research, the University or anything even remotely attached to the aforementioned.

"So, what exactly CAN graphene do?"

"YES".
