What about adding an element of stop motion phatography in the mix of CGI and puppeteering? This was done in Alien 3 with the way the bambi burster came out and walked off. It was a puppet that had a little stop motion element combined with minor CGI effects. Dennis Fincher the director of Alien 3 expiermented with this film plus giveing us a new look of the creature upon request of Giger. Which I have to say was a breakthrough. Alien 3 was probabally the first film ever to use a minor CGI effect on the creatures in a time when the technology was scarse and new.
I've actually been for a ride in the APC vehicle prop. really small inside though.

I was quite impressed with the level of detail the put into it. Especially on the outside bodyshell.
