I am trying to extract a frieze ono a tower on a childs toy to reproduce it on a plane.

I have 8 photos of the tower but would like to merge them to get a flat picture. I have seen tutorials on how to take a flat picture and wrap it around a cylinder but not the other way round -

any advice ?

You haven't seen a solution to this because it is hard to do. You would need a scanner, scanning the object line per line, by turning a small amount each time. Or you will need to take numerous pictures of your tower and stitch the pictures together and compensate for the cylindrical distortion.
