Nope. Bone and muscle aren't strong enough at that scale. As I said, a
skyscraper-sized man needs steel bones and concrete muscles just to
stand up - to actually move about he'd need materials that are beyond
current science. The weight of a man increases much faster than the
strength of his legs as we scale up; the optimum height seems to be
around 1.5 - 1.8m. Much taller and bone starts showing its limits;
occasionally giants are born who grow to well over 2m, and they tend
to develop skeletal problems; the longer your bones, the easier it is
to break them - try it with a pencil. Snap a pencil in half, easy.
Snap one of the half-pencils in half again, much more difficult.

The Eva series were based on cloning angels - perhaps they have
somehow managed to grow buckytubes naturally, or perhaps they support
their enormous structure with an AT field rather than with normal
materials. Either way, not very helpful for us.
