The command room was built inside a reserve factory floor. All the part of the room was handmade from the floor to the ceiling, Using cardboard box and other material to build the frame of the room and painting over it. The computer screen is created by using transulunce paper with light behind them to create a glow effects.

"It was built in the summer with only one fan cooling the room. It was made without any break, day and night. It took a week to be made but was dismantled in only 2 hours"

After the room is complete it was also use by the cast for rehearsal.

Miniatures were created using painted cardboard and small city props painted by hand. They were used in scenes like city scape where the monster and Ultraman fight, the outside shot of MAT base, and fighter planes' launching scene.
