You would need a Gemini playfield. 
No one is doing a reproduction right now. 
You would need to find a used playfield. 
A used one cannot be found unless you find the machine. 
The machine costs $7000.00. 
Reality, Now your back to saving your money for one. 
Quoted from SilverballSleuth:I’d be cool with a white wood if I could replicate the holes. My Alien Star is “white wood.”
Quoted from aeneas:With a playfield, backglass, and similar era donor cabinet, it's certainly possible.
That's how Tim Arnold made his TKO.Making an EM totally from scratch is also possible but will take more time.
Dutch Henk De Jager made some em games in the past from scratch, see:

and these are not the only two he made, he's made about a dozen different em machines in the last 20 years..If you'll be able to do it, depends on your skill and experience with em games.
Well if your cool with a whitewood that is a start for sure. Your experience with logic would have to be up there with an electrical engineer when building from scratch, basically an Ed Krynsky. If you have that ability, then I would say go for it and have fun.
